💨 Abstract
An anonymous user on Polymarket, a crypto-powered prediction market, made $436,000 by betting on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro before January 31. The user's wager, placed in December 2025, turned profitable after President Donald Trump announced Maduro's capture on January 3. The timing and size of the bet raised suspicions of insider trading.
