U.S. soldier involved in Maduro raid charged with betting on the operation
The special forces soldier allegedly made more than $400,000 on Polymarket as a result of the bets, prosecutors say.

... The soldier was identified as Gannon Ken Van Dyke in a news release announcing the indictment.

... Van Dyke was charged with “unlawful use of confidential government information for personal gain, theft of nonpublic government information, commodities fraud, wire fraud, and making an unlawful monetary transaction.”

“The charges arise from an alleged scheme in which Van Dyke used sensitive classified information to make wagers on Polymarket,” the statement from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said.

In a statement, prediction site Polymarket said, "When we identified a user trading on classified government information, we referred the matter to the DOJ & cooperated with their investigation."

Comey is indicted, again. The 86 47 "threat" was made especially silly by having been written in cute seashells. Lawrence O'Donnell calls it "the most childish indictment he's ever heard of." Filed in NC since that's where the beach was. Sorry . To me 86 has always been used in reference to removal from a bar, with or without violence. I guess I threaten Moron Don with every post. Opps. Hey cons, report me to the FBI, please.
