Insider Trading in War: 5 People Involved, the Highest Earner Was Arrested

On April 24, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke for insider trading related to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3. Van Dyke allegedly profited over $400,000 by placing bets on a prediction market, Polymarket, using insider knowledge of the covert operation. According to the indictment, Van Dyke registered an account (0x31a5) on December 26 and made a series of bets predicting Maduro’s capture and U.S. military involvement in Venezuela. He withdrew most of his funds on the day of the operation and attempted to obscure his tracks by transferring assets through crypto and brokerage accounts. This case marks the first time the DOJ has prosecuted insider trading on Polymarket. PolyBeats had previously identified five suspicious accounts, including Van Dyke’s—the highest earner—in January. The other accounts, with profits ranging from $34,000 to $145,000, remain under unofficial scrutiny but have not been charged. Their lower profits, indirect access to information, and unclear legal boundaries may complicate prosecution. Polymarket has since strengthened its market integrity rules, explicitly prohibiting trading based on confidential or insider information. Van Dyke’s arrest, nearly four months after his trades, signals increased regulatory attention and the persistent traceability of blockchain-based transactions.
