US Arrests Soldier Who Allegedly Made $400k on Maduro Bets

The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York has announced that Gannon Ken Van Dyke, a soldier, is in custody on several charges, including using confidential government information for personal gain. According to an indictment, Van Dyke was directly involved in planning and executing “Operation Absolute Resolve” to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who recently landed at a Manhattan helipad in handcuffs. Prosecutors allege that Van Dyke made significant financial gains from suspicious bets placed on the operation’s outcome, totaling over $400,000. The indictment states that Van Dyke purchased shares worth $33,934 just days before Maduro’s capture and other transactions were made in the lead-up to the operation’s culmination. The US government has charged Van Dyke with using confidential information for personal gain, bringing a new layer of scrutiny to those involved in the high-stakes operation. Van Dyke’s arrest marks another significant development in the saga surrounding “Operation Absolute Resolve” and its impact on global politics and finance.
