美国士兵涉嫌利用涉马杜罗机密情报在预测市场非法获利超40万美元被捕

美国司法部近日通报，一名直接参与抓捕委内瑞拉前总统马杜罗的美军特种部队士兵，因涉嫌利用职务获取的机密信息在预测市场Polymarket下注获利，已被正式逮捕并起诉。

现年（未公布）的美陆军特种部队上士甘农·肯·范·戴克，被指控在2025年12月26日至2026年1月2日期间，使用其掌握的与抓捕马杜罗行动相关的机密情报，在Polymarket平台开设账户并进行了13笔押注。他多次选择“是”的选项，下注内容涉及“美军是否将在2026年1月31日前进入委内瑞拉”、“马杜罗是否将在该日期前下台”、“美国是否将入侵委内瑞拉”以及“特朗普是否援引《战争权力法》对委内瑞拉采取行动”等。

据悉，范·戴克总共投入约3.3万美元，最终获利高达40.9881万美元，收益率超过10倍。2026年1月3日，美军在行动中抓获马杜罗及其妻子。范·戴克当天便将资金从Polymarket提现，并转移至一个境外加密货币账户，随后又存入一个新开设的在线经纪账户。

在马杜罗被捕消息公布后不久，外界便发现有一名匿名交易者在此事件中获利近50万美元，引发市场对“内幕交易”的广泛质疑。司法部指出，范·戴克为掩盖行踪，曾试图要求Polymarket删除其账户，谎称无法登录注册邮箱，并更改了与加密货币账户关联的邮箱地址。

目前，范·戴克面临三项违反《商品交易法》的指控，每项最高可判处10年监禁；一项电信诈骗罪，最高可判20年；以及一项非法货币交易罪，最高可判10年。此案并非孤例，预测市场平台近期频频出现内幕交易问题。此前，平台Kalshi已对三名涉嫌利用竞选内幕信息进行交易的政界人士采取了处罚措施，其中两人被处以不到1000美元罚款及最高五年停权，另一人则面临超过6000美元罚款及五年停权。

美国士兵因涉嫌利用涉密马杜罗情报在Polymarket获利超40万美元被捕
美国司法部称，该士兵直接参与了抓捕委内瑞拉前总统的行动。
美国士兵加农·肯·范·戴克已被逮捕，并被指控利用其掌握的与前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗被捕相关的机密情报，在预测市场Polymarket上下注获利。这名美国陆军特种部队上士直接参与了该行动的策划与执行，据称获利409,881美元。
根据美国司法部的说法，范·戴克于2025年12月26日左右创建了一个Polymarket账户，并于12月27日至1月2日期间就马杜罗相关事件下了13笔赌注。他在多项Polymarket投注中选择了“是”选项，包括“美国军队在2026年1月31日前进入委内瑞拉”、“马杜罗在2026年1月31日前下台”、“美国将于1月31日前入侵委内瑞拉”以及“特朗普在1月31日前援引《战争权力法》对抗委内瑞拉”。美国军方于1月3日抓获了马杜罗及其妻子。
范·戴克据称共下注33,034美元，通过赢得的赌注获得了超过十倍的回报。他在马杜罗被捕当天从Polymarket提取了资金，随后将其转入一个境外加密货币保险库，再存入一个新的在线经纪账户。
马杜罗被捕后不久，有报道称一名匿名赌徒在消息公布前赚取了近50万美元，引发外界对有人利用内部军事情报牟利的担忧。美国司法部表示，范·戴克试图掩盖踪迹。在有关潜在内幕投注的报道发表后，他据称要求Polymarket删除其账户，谎称自己无法登录注册邮箱。他还将其加密货币账户关联的邮箱地址改为了另一个与自己姓名无关的邮箱。
范·戴克被控三项违反《商品交易法》的罪名，每项罪名最高可判处10年监禁。他还被控一项电信欺诈罪，最高可判处20年监禁，以及一项非法金融交易罪，最高可判处10年监禁。
预测市场一直面临内幕交易问题，而这远非首次发生此类事件。近期，Kalshi对三名政治候选人采取行动，指控他们从事与竞选活动相关的内幕交易。明尼苏达州的马特·克莱因和得克萨斯州的以西结·恩里克斯面临不到1000美元的罚款和最长五年的禁入处罚。同时，弗吉尼亚州的马克·莫兰面临纪律处分、五年禁入以及超过6000美元的罚款。

US soldier arrested for allegedly making over $400,000 on Polymarket with classified Maduro information
He was directly involved with the capture of the former Venezuelan president, DOJ says.
United States soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke has been arrested and charged for placing bets on prediction marketplace Polymarket using classified information he had access to related to the capture of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. The US Army Special Forces master sergeant, who was directly involved with the planning and execution of the operation, allegedly made $409,881 in profits.
According to the Department of Justice, Van Dyke created a Polymarket account around December 26, 2025 and made 13 bets related to Maduro from December 27 to January 2. He took the “Yes” position on several Polymarket wagers, including “US Forces in Venezuela… by January 31, 2026,” “Maduro out by… January 31, 2026, “Will the US invade Venezuela by January 31” and “Trump invokes War Powers against Venezuela by… January 31.” The US military captured Maduro and his wife on January 3.
Van Dyke allegedly bet a total of $33,034 and made over ten times that amount from his winnings. He withdrew his money from Polymarket on the day Maduro was captured and then sent it to a foreign crypto vault before depositing it to a new online brokerage account.
Shortly after Maduro’s capture, reports came out about how an anonymous gambler made almost half a million dollars before it was announced, raising concerns that someone had profited off insider military knowledge. The Justice Department says Van Dyke tried to cover his tracks. After reports about the potential insider bets were published, he allegedly asked Polymarket to delete his account, falsely claiming that he lost access to the email he used. He also changed the email address linked to his crypto account to another one not associated with his name.
Van Dyke has been charged with three counts of violation against the Commodity Exchange Act, with each one carrying a max sentence of 10 years in prison. He has also been charged with one count of wire fraud with a max penalty of 20 years in prison, as well as one count of unlawful monetary transaction with a max sentence of 10 years.
Prediction marketplaces have been struggling with insider trading problems, and this is far from the first incident. Recently, Kalshi took action against three political candidates, accusing them of insider trading related to their campaigns. Matt Klein of Minnesota and Ezekiel Enriquez of Texas face a fine of less than $1,000 and suspensions of up to five years. Meanwhile Mark Moran of Virginia faces disciplinary action, a five year suspension and a fine of more than $6,000.
