Former President Trump has defended U.S. military special forces soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who faces charges for allegedly using classified intelligence to profit over $400,000 on the prediction market platform Polymarket. Van Dyke reportedly bet on the arrest of Venezuelan leader Maduro. Trump likened the situation to Pete Rose betting on his own team, suggesting that betting on a positive outcome is less problematic. Trump has indicated he may consider a pardon, with several allies supporting this move. The U.S. Department of Justice's charges against Van Dyke highlight concerns over the use of insider information in prediction markets. Trump, who has previously criticized war-related betting activities, described the current global situation as akin to a "casino," where market trading may be influenced by information asymmetry. Despite his defense of Van Dyke, Trump reiterated his lack of support for prediction platforms.
