Elite soldier accused of betting on Maduro raid he helped plan

A U.S. Special Forces soldier is in big trouble for allegedly betting on his own secret mission. Yesterday, Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was charged with fraud. Prosecutors say he made more than $400,000 on the prediction website Polymarket by placing 13 bets about capturing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Van Dyke was part of the planning team for the successful January 3 raid. Officials claim he used secret government information for personal gain, then tried to hide the fact using cryptocurrency. He now faces five federal charges, including wire fraud and theft of classified information. If convicted, he could spend up to 60 years in prison. Gambling continues to rapidly infect all levels of American society.
