CoinFeed reported on April 24th that, according to Jinshi News, ABC News, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that U.S. federal authorities arrested a special forces soldier involved in the arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro on Thursday. The soldier is suspected of profiting over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal from office. Sources said federal investigators believe the commando placed over $33,000 bets on the prediction market Polymarket hours before President Trump announced Maduro's arrest in January. This series of bets, which netted over $409,000, immediately triggered an internal review of the prediction market, launching a months-long insider trading investigation.
