Shortly before news began to circulate about the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, a trader from Polymarket made hundreds of thousands of dollars betting correctly that the event would occur by the end of January. This bet, made surprisingly timely, quickly attracted attention.

Subsequently, an analysis of the blockchain revealed possible links between the account in question and several wallets that bear names similar to that of Steve Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and current U.S. envoy to the Middle East. Although no definitive evidence has emerged, these findings have raised broader questions about possible privileged access to confidential information.
