At the end of December, he opened an account on the Polymarket platform and placed a bet of about £32,000 on Maduro being "removed" by January - a bet that was considered unlikely.In total, he made 13 bets between December 27 and January 2, the last one a few hours before the night-time operation. After the operation, he made a profit of more than £400,000.The investigation alleges that he transferred the money to a foreign crypto storage and then to a brokerage account to hide its origin. He has been charged with fraud, theft, and the unlawful use of secret information.</blockquote>
