When Maduro was captured and replaced as Venezuela’s leader for the time being, the trader made $436,759.61 (approximately $AU$650,000).
With their initial investment being $34,000, they made a profit of nearly $410,000.
The discovery has raised questions around if someone with inside knowledge of the operation had profited.
If the trader was misusing government information given the secretive nature of the operation to capture Maduro, they could be prosecuted under United States law.
There have currently been no allegations of wrongdoing against any individuals.
Polymarket has yet to make a statement about the bet.
