【赌马杜罗下台赚逾40万美元 美一特种兵遭起诉】美国司法部当地时间4月23日证实，参与强行控制并转移委内瑞拉总统马杜罗的美国陆军特种部队军士长甘农·肯·范戴克，因涉嫌利用此消息进行投注获利超过40万美元而被起诉。

据悉，在1月3日前的几周内，范戴克利用敏感的机密信息，在预测市场Polymarket上押注美军将进入委内瑞拉以及马杜罗将下台。1月3日当天，范戴克还在网络账号上传涉敏感信息照片。

曼哈顿联邦法院的大陪审团对38岁的范戴克提起诉讼，罪名包括为个人利益非法使用机密政府信息、窃取非公开政府信息、商品欺诈、电信欺诈以及进行非法货币交易。

美国商品期货交易委员会也针对范戴克提起了民事诉讼。

The US Justice Department announced on Thursday that a US Army soldier linked to the capture of Nicolas Maduro has been indicted for placing bets – resulting in winnings of more than $400,000 – related to the ouster of the former Venezuelan leader.

Gannon Ken Van Dyke, a master sergeant in the US Army Special Forces, leveraged sensitive classified information in the weeks prior to Maduro's capture on January 3 to place wagers on the prediction market Polymarket. He bet that US military forces would intervene in Venezuela and that Maduro would be removed from power.

The 38-year-old Van Dyke has been indicted by a grand jury at the Manhattan federal court on charges of unlawful use of confidential government information for personal gain, theft of nonpublic government information, commodities fraud, wire fraud and making an unlawful monetary transaction.
