A US Special Forces soldier involved in operations related to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s capture has been arrested by the Department of Justice.
He allegedly made over $400,000 betting on prediction markets about Maduro’s removal from office — raising serious concerns over the use of classified government information for personal gain.

The prediction market encounters the intelligence circle, which is simply a blow to the lower dimension; how can ordinary people compete?

400k is not the key point; the main concern is that internal military/government information leaks could shatter the entire market’s trust.

No wonder some people say that the prediction market is manipulated by "privileged individuals." Seeing this kind of news makes it even more convincing.

Political prediction markets are inherently sensitive, and adding the factor of military status will definitely cause a public uproar; I hope they can thoroughly investigate the flow of funds, accounts, and communications.

Participating in actions while buying the "resignation" position, this moral hazard is directly maximized, what's the difference from betting on the outcome.

The DOJ's intervention indicates that the United States also fears the spread of this trend of turning policies and military actions into arbitrage tools.

This also serves as a reminder: on-chain/off-chain prediction markets must consider anti-fraud mechanisms, or else they are just giving money to the privileged classes.

If truly involving classified information, it's not just a violation, but a matter of national security level.
