2:31Now PlayingA U.S. special forces soldier who helped plan the January capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was indicted last week for allegedly using classified information about the raid to make prediction market bets.
Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, won more than $400,000 on Polymarket by placing a series of bets about Maduro's removal.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton said in a statement that Van Dkye engaged in "clear insider trading."
The indictment is raising new concerns about insider trading and the need for regulation.
