Venezuela Leaker Jailed, Polymarket Accounts Go Quiet Amid Insider Trading Concerns

The operation leak from Venezuela was reported by Donald Trump, the US President, as a person who has been arrested and is now in prison. As a result, there has been a resurgence of investigation into prediction markets like Polymarket.

The Venezuela Bet

Crypto experts have tracked the source of the leak that led to the arrest to a group of Polymarket accounts that heavily bet on the country’s outcomes just a few hours before the information became public. Account “0xa72DB1” wagered $5, 800 and made the bet that Maduro would be overthrown by January 31, 2026, thus winning $75, 000. Account “0x31a56e” consecutively bet on their events and then vanished from Polymarket.

Polymarket responds

During the investigation, the prediction market platform was highly scrutinized, and several accounts ceased communication with the authorities. However, there are still functioning accounts, one wallet, “SBet365” even placing a new bet on the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, being ousted by January 31.

The cut was not only Bieber’s first to start in first place, but — amazingly — his first ruler on the most competitive songs ranking in America.
