A trader made over $400,000 betting on the capture of Venezuelan leader Maduro

A mystery trader on the prediction market Polymarket made a profit of over $400,000 by correctly betting that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro would be captured. The large payout has raised questions about whether the trader had insider information about the event.

Separately, Maduro's removal from power has brought renewed attention to Venezuela's long-running debt crisis. In a related development, Venezuelan official Delcy Rodríguez removed Alex Saab, a man accused of being a front for Maduro, from her cabinet.
