Original: DOJ arrests soldier who made $400,000 betting on Maduro's removal
The US Department of Justice has arrested an American soldier who reportedly made around $400,000 betting on the removal of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The case raises questions about how prediction and betting markets tied to real-world political events are policed, and whether the soldier had access to inside information. Details of the charges have not been made clear in initial reports.
Why now: The unusual combination of a serving soldier, large gambling profits and a foreign leader's removal has drawn wide attention.
