Promote with Leviathan NewsGannon Ken Van Dyke, the Army soldier accused of using classified intel on January’s Maduro operation to trade on Polymarket, is tentatively set for trial on Dec. 7 in Manhattan. Prosecutors say he turned roughly $33K in Venezuela-related bets into about $410K, making the case the first U.S. insider trading action centered on prediction markets. His defense is also expected to seek dismissal, so the next real fight is whether old commodities and fraud law cleanly covers onchain event-contract trading.
