US soldier claims betting on Maduro's capture was legal in court filing
A US soldier facing charges for allegedly earning $400,000 (roughly ₹4 crore) through bets linked to classified details about a mission to capture former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has requested that a judge drop the case. Van Dyke maintains that his wagers, made on a prediction market platform, did not violate any laws. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors have accused him of exploiting sensitive insider information for financial gain.
