DOJ arrests soldier who made $400,000 betting on Maduro's removal: Sources

Forgot to give the boss his cut

Damn, my money was on “someone Hegseth drunk texted secret plans to”

Edit: wait, could I have actually bet money on this on Polymarkt?

That's the real crime here.

Criming is for the DOJ and billionaires.

Now do the administration

Lol, poor fool thought he was Epstein class. Only billionaires can do that sort of thing. He's just a lowly meat puppet kept around for violence.

THIS is the Single person placing HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of Dollars on Bets? That's QRAZY that it's only ONE Person doing all That! OTHERWISE it would be WEIRD that the Government is ONLY Arresting the POOR People doing this!

Can't have the poors getting uppity.

More cases of "rules for thee and not for me", of course. You won't see the DOJ arresting anyone in the Trump family making the same kind of bets.

If this guy's lawyer is smart about this, they should ask for discovery on specific instances of insider trading that we know about like the Iran bombing bets made on Kalshi or similar platforms. It would probably be a quick way to get the case dismissed or at least settled out.

Original article

Thank you!

I was on yahoo from another article and just linked the first one I saw. This is much better!

On Hegseth being drunk? Not quite a free space like Patel, but pretty close.

But yea, you could bet on military actions.

Best to use the original rather than an aggregate like yapoo.

Unless the original is paywalled and Yahoo isn't.

Then there will always be other sources that aren't paywalled and aren't an aggregate.

Trump: "Listen, I'll make you a $400,000 offer you can't refuse."

Arresting him becuase he didn't share with the higher ups

Lemmy complains when people trade with insider information and Lemmy also complains when people get arrested for trading with insider information.

It's almost like some people just live to complain.

So they saw unusual amounts of activity on these prediction bets and likely subpoenaed the accounts involved. If the guy had been smart about it he would've had someone he knew put the bet in return for splitting the winnings. Make sure you aren't associated on social media or geographically close.
