A US special forces member involved in the January operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro has been charged with using classified information about the mission to win more than $400,000 (€341,000) in an online betting market, officials said.
Gannon Ken Van Dyke, a senior enlisted soldier, was part of the operation to capture Maduro in January and used his access to classified information to make money on the prediction market site Polymarket, the federal prosecutor’s office in New York said.
