I searched for "Gannon Ken Van Dyke" and it redirects to this article, but there is no information here about him, or about the allegations related to Polymarket bets that were made prior to the capture of Maduro. ~2026-24524-49 (talk) 00:33, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Here are some sources:

• The Guardian: US soldier involved in Maduro raid charged over alleged bets on capture
• The New York Times: Soldier Used Classified Information to Bet on Maduro’s Ouster, U.S. Says
• BBC: US soldier charged after winning $400,000 betting on removal of Maduro
• CNN: US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400,000 on Maduro raid
• Wired: US Special Forces Soldier Arrested for Polymarket Bets on Maduro Raid
• Wall Street Journal: U.S. Soldier Charged With Using Classified Information to Bet on Maduro's Ouster
• The Washington Post: U.S. soldier accused of pocketing $400,000 through bets on Maduro’s capture
• Miami Herald: U.S. soldier charged in $400K betting scheme tied to Maduro raid

Hope that helps. ~2026-24524-49 (talk) 00:41, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

seems like that story could be its own article. ~2026-25948-67 (talk) 23:24, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

It's now at 2026 United States intervention in Venezuela § Alleged insider betting prior to the operation. Already cited are a CBS report and (the primary source) the DOJ press release. Ifly6 (talk) 13:35, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

@Shawtybaespade: American expansionism under Donald Trump deals with proposed territorial enlargement. Unless someone can prove that the US intervened in Venezuela for the sake of annexing all or part of it, we should remove this batshit claim and stop wasting time on nonsense like this.

I see what you mean. The very definition of "expansionism" seems to exclusively mean land gain, which isn't part of Trumps plan like with Greenland. Shawtybaespade (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

@Shawtybaespade: I apologize for not initially assuming good faith. I am by no means a supporter of Trump myself, but I dislike it when people attempt to push a particular narrative on Wikipedia. The "Part of" and "See also" sections of articles are frequently used to that end, and to move goal posts. (I don't at all object to its placement in the Greenland crisis article, by the way.)

Hey guys,

I was thinking about adding the news about American Airlines resuming flights to Venezuela for the first time since 2019. Possibly under "renewal of diplomatic relations." Does that news belong on this page or not? Bappo67 (talk) 22:17, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

This detail was already mentioned in Oil deals, privatization reform, mining and ease of sanctions. I will move it to the renewal section though. Shawtybaespade (talk) 05:19, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Ok thank you. I guess I was not looking in the right spot Bappo67 (talk) 15:54, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
