In April 2026, Jordan Van Dyke — a sergeant with the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Liberty in Fayetteville, North Carolina, who held a U.S. security clearance — was charged in the Southern District of New York with five counts including three violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, wire fraud, and an unlawful monetary transaction after market-integrity reviewers and counterintelligence investigators flagged an anomaly in his crypto betting activity. According to the charges, Van Dyke funded a Polymarket prediction-market account on December 26, 2025, then placed roughly thirteen bets over the following week, all taking the "YES" position on imminent U.S. military action against Venezuela, including markets asking whether American forces would enter the country, whether Maduro would be removed, and whether the President would invoke war powers, all before January 31, 2026. ––– Disclaimer: This video is a dramatization based on real events.
