Washington: The Department of Justice charged U.S. Army soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke on April 24 after alleging he used classified information from a U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to place over $400,000 in bets on the prediction market Polymarket; prosecutors say Van Dyke participated in planning and executing the mission beginning Dec. 8, 2025. United States prosecutors have filed counts including unlawful use of confidential government information, commodities fraud, wire fraud and unlawful monetary transaction, and said he could face years in prison; Polymarket notified authorities and cooperated, and Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday emphasized service members are prohibited from exploiting classified material, with court proceedings and pretrial motions expected this year.
