A Bet on Maduro Earned $400,000. Polymarket Faces Insider Trading Allegations
The arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces has not only caused geopolitical shockwaves, but also ignited controversy on the decentralized prediction market Polymarket. Just hours before the event, three newly created crypto wallets placed massive bets on Maduro’s removal — and astonishingly predicted the outcome with 94% accuracy.
🔹 Record Profits, Rising Suspicions
One wallet reportedly turned a $34,000 investment into an incredible $400,000. Together, the three wallets generated over $630,000 in profits. Notably, all three wallets bet solely on Venezuela- and Maduro-related events, with no previous betting history — triggering strong suspicions of insider trading.
🔹 Predictions Minutes Before the Operation
In the final hours before the Friday night raid (10 PM EST), the odds of Maduro being ousted jumped from 6% to 12.5% within just 35 minutes. These were the exact moments when key bets were placed — raising serious ethical and legal questions about advance knowledge of the operation.
🔹 U.S. Justice Ready to Strike
After Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were arrested in Caracas on charges of narco-terrorism and weapons trafficking, U.S. prosecutor Pam Bondi stated:
“Maduro and his wife will soon face the full force of American justice, on U.S. soil, in American courts.”
Other high-ranking Venezuelan officials, including Maduro’s son, face similar indictments. Despite the political unrest and ongoing national strike in Venezuela, the crypto markets have remained notably stable.
🔹 Prediction Markets – A Powerful Tool, But for Whom?
More crypto companies are exploring prediction markets. Coinbase is already collaborating with Kalshi to launch its own platform. Other players like Gemini and Crypto.com are following suit. But this growing trend raises a crucial question:
Where’s the line between intelligent speculation and using privileged, non-public information for profit?

🕵️♂️ Insider Trade or Pure Luck? Trader Bags $410,000 on Maduro’s Arrest via Polymarket
The prediction market Polymarket is buzzing again. A mysterious user just pocketed a massive $410,000 profit by betting on the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro just before the U.S. military operation. 🚀
How did it happen?
🔹 The account was created only last month.
🔹 The first trade occurred on December 27: the trader spent just $96 on contracts predicting a "U.S. invasion of Venezuela by January 31."
🔹 Over the following days, the user aggressively scaled into the position, bringing total investment to $34,000.
At the time, the market priced this scenario as a "black swan" event with extremely low probability. However, as soon as news broke of Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces, the contract value skyrocketed, delivering a net profit over 12x the initial stake. 💰
Coincidence or Insider Info?
The precise timing and aggressive accumulation right before the operation have sparked widespread suspicions of insider trading. The crypto community is asking: did this trader have prior knowledge of military plans?
Polymarket Status in 2026:
It’s worth noting that in September, Polymarket received the green light from the CFTC to operate in the U.S. after acquiring the licensed exchange QCEX for $112 million. Despite ongoing access restrictions, volume is surging, and cases like this are putting prediction markets in the global spotlight.
Neither the CFTC nor Polymarket representatives have commented on whether an investigation into the suspicious trading activity is underway.
What’s your take: Genius analysis or a leaked tip? Let us know in the comments! 👇

— Mechanism Behind Repeated Short Traps
Core Cause
On-chain liquidity is very low (≈ just over $1M).
Low liquidity allows relatively small capital to move the spot price significantly.
Contract Mechanics
Perpetual contracts use a funding rate to anchor contract price to spot price.
When spot price > contract price, short positions pay funding fees (typically hourly).
Observed Strategy
A dominant trader (“main force”) uses limited liquidity to self-trade or coordinate buys/sells on spot markets, pushing the spot price upward.
Simultaneously, they hold long positions in the perpetual contract.
Retail traders misread the move as overextension and open short positions.
As spot stays above contract:
Shorts pay continuous funding fees.
Rising price increases unrealized losses on shorts.
Margin pressure forces shorts to buy back (close positions).
Forced buybacks add additional upward pressure, benefiting the dominant long position.
Result: shorts lose to both price appreciation and funding fees.
Why This Works
Price impact is high in low-liquidity markets.
Funding asymmetry penalizes shorts when spot is artificially elevated.
Liquidation/forced exits mechanically amplify price moves.
Key Risks (Facts)
Low-liquidity perpetual markets are vulnerable to spot price manipulation.
Negative carry for shorts occurs when spot exceeds contract price.
Short covering mechanically increases demand, reinforcing the move.
Losses compound via price movement + recurring funding payments.
Practical Implications
Low liquidity increases manipulation risk.
Funding rates can dominate PnL over time, even without large price moves.
Shorting against sustained spot premiums is structurally disadvantageous.
Summary This is a textbook feedback loop in thin markets:
Spot manipulation → shorts pay funding → forced buybacks → higher price → amplified gains for dominant longs.

💥 SUSPICIOUS TRADING BEFORE MADURO ANNOUNCEMENT — $400K GAIN
It has been reported that an individual potentially earned around $400,000 by engaging in trades ahead of the news regarding Maduro’s arrest.
The account was established in December 2025, and shortly afterward, it executed a trade worth $32,000 mere hours before Trump ordered American troops to Venezuela to take the president into custody.
The timing is… highly suspect.
This raises a clear question:
Who had prior knowledge of this event?
Was it leaked information? An insider from the political sphere? A contact within the military? Or merely an extraordinary coincidence?

🚨 INSIDER DA RECORD PUNTA $125 MILLION ON CRYPTO MARKET BEFORE TRUMP'S SPEECH 🚨
A well-known name in the trading world, with a history of 100% winning trades, has just opened a long position worth $125 million on the entire crypto market.
The move comes just hours before Donald Trump's public speech, an event many believe could significantly influence investor sentiment.
The insider has bet on key assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, and even more speculative tokens like PUMP, FARTCOIN, and ZEC, replicating the same strategy that preceded the last Bitcoin rally.
Analysts are now wondering whether this is merely a high-leverage bet or insider information about imminent favorable announcements in the sector.
One thing is certain: institutional confidence in the crypto market seems to be growing at an explosive pace.

🚨 SCANDAL OF INSIDER TRADING ON POLYMARKET: 630K$ BEFORE THE ARREST OF MADURO 🚨
Three insider wallets on Polymarket heavily bet on the exit of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro just hours before his arrest by US forces, cashing in a total profit of $630,484.
Revealed by blockchain analyst Lookonchain, these wallets were created and pre-funded days prior, then placed bets focused exclusively on markets related to Venezuela and Maduro, with no history of other bets – a classic sign of insider trading.
The bets targeted events such as "Maduro out of office" or "in US custody by the end of 2025," right at the critical moment before the military operation announced by President Trump, which led to the capture of Maduro and his wife.
This case highlights the vulnerabilities of decentralized prediction markets on Polygon with USDC, where privileged information – potentially from US intelligence or government sources – allows for astronomical gains without proper checks.
Polymarket, a leader in geopolitical prediction markets, now faces fierce criticism from the crypto community, which is calling for federal investigations and greater on-chain transparency.
Similar episodes risk undermining trust in these platforms, a wake-up call for the entire prediction and DeFi ecosystem.

🕵️♂️ Insider information or pure luck? Traders made $410,000 on Polymarket during the arrest of Maduro
Predictive market Polymarket is once again in the spotlight. A mysterious user on Polymarket earned an astonishing $410,000 profit just hours before the U.S. military operation was announced, betting that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would be ousted.
Event timeline:
Late December: A new account was created, initially placing small bets on U.S. intervention in Venezuela. Days before the raid: The trader increased their investment, accumulating contracts worth approximately $34,000. At that time, market odds were extremely low (probability as low as 5.5%). Critical moment: When U.S. forces captured Maduro, these contracts surged in value, generating substantial profits.
The large, concentrated bets placed by this new account in a short period have raised serious concerns about potential insider trading. This issue has long been controversial in the relatively lightly regulated predictive market space.
Polymarket and U.S. regulators have not publicly commented on whether this specific transaction is under investigation.
