      Quiet professionals my ass. It’s long past time people got over worshipping these jackoffs.

      We need to end the online betting markets completely or we will see more and more corruption.

      The special forces soldier is just following the same low ethical standard set by Commander-in-Thief President Trump and his corrupt Administration that is taking insider trading, fleecing of governments funds, influence peddling and bribe-taking by government officials to an industrial level.

      Pretty sure the US is cooked. Soldiers betting on classified missions is a demonstration of how rotted we are at the core.

      He was too poor to have made that kind of money so quickly.

      They’ll make him the fall guy for all the other suspicious bets.

      >A US special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was arrested for allegedly betting on that operation, netting him $400,000 in profits, according to a person familiar with the matter.

      If he leaked sensitive info about an upcoming operation, they should throw the book at him for jeopardizing the lives of his comrades.

      Is someone at the DOJ jealous and now they want a cut to make the charges go away?

      Oh, they found their example so they can say, „See! We did something about it!“

      Polymarket and Kalshi are the stuff of dystopian nightmares, but I don’t understand how this soldier did anything wrong here, especially in a legal sense. He didn’t obtain information through fraudulent means, he didn’t reveal classified information by placing the bet, he just made a good and, as far as I can tell, legal bet. If this soldier thought the plan to remove Maduro was shit and bet that he would still be in power in 6 months, would that have been illegal? Or is it only illegal because this solider had real reason to believe he was making a good bet?

      If you’re not a member of the ruling class you’re not allowed to deal in insider trading. Obviously your military rank doesn’t cut it.

      can’t say i’m surprised. look at how the president is manipulating markets for his cronies. That alcoholic at the DoD will come to the rescue soon.

      Weird. They didn’t seem to catch any of the other weird prediction market bs happening around trump

      If I were to speculate, he placed increasing bets as practice runs began and progressed in the plan stages for the Maduro raid, and he saw the progression firsthand of those practice runs.

      Dude was an idiot for placing the bets, having information that wasn’t public.

      Given this administrations practices, I expect we just found the name of the next Secretary of the Army. Someone should check the betting sites …

      Isolated scenario. There is no insider trading. I also saw a pig fly over the White House.

      This will be their scapegoat for all the big market manipulations they have been participating in.

      The sad part is this is nothing compared to … what isn’t being investigated.

      They’re gonna catch and prosecute the comparatively small time corruption to distract from, and give cover to, their own massive corruption
