{{A US special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was arrested and charged for allegedly betting on that operation, netting him $400,000 in profits. }}

I bet he's pardoned by Trump before the weekend.

I would only take that bet if I knew which side of it Trump had money on.

You know this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of trading on inside information. But now it's easy for those in the government to trade on Trump's leaky lips and whims.

$400k in profits?

Probably not even a rounding error compared to the market manipulation shorting done by his cabinet members.

"I bet he's pardoned by Trump before the weekend."

First he has to make a donation to a Trump super-PAC.

Screw the PACs. He's got accounts in foreign banks for direct deposits to Donald J. Trump

No problem for Trump, given he bet on his own team.

When Trump was asked Thursday about the indictment of Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke, he inquired whether Van Dyke had bet for or against Maduro’s ouster.

When informed the soldier had predicted Maduro would be ousted, Trump compared it to baseball player Pete Rose betting that his team would win.

Rose was banned from Major League Baseball in 1989 after an investigation found he had gambled on games while managing the Cincinnati Reds. Rose’s defenders have argued that betting that his team would win made his gambling offenses less serious. “That’s like Pete Rose betting on his own team,” Trump said
