Polymarket stated on platform X, "Last month, we released enhanced market integrity rules to combat insider trading. When we discover users trading on government confidential information, we refer the matter to the Department of Justice and cooperate with their investigation. Polymarket does not tolerate insider trading, and today's arrest demonstrates that this system is effective."
The arrest mentioned by Polymarket refers to the U.S. federal authorities arresting a special forces soldier this Thursday who was involved in the arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro. The soldier is suspected of profiting over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's ousting. Sources say federal investigators believe this commando placed a bet of over $33,000 on the prediction market Polymarket just hours before President Trump announced the capture of Maduro in January.
