A Polymarket account that earned roughly $400,000 from a bet on Nicolás Maduro’s capture and removal as president has become inaccessible.
The account, identified as “0x31a56e”, placed about $32,000 on Maduro’s ouster shortly before news of his arrest by US forces emerged.
Attempts to access the user’s Polymarket page now return an error message, while other accounts remain visible.
Blockchain data shows the account received more than $436,000 in winnings before transferring the funds out within hours.
The user had also placed related wagers on US military involvement in Venezuela and potential presidential war powers.
Polymarket has not commented on whether the account was removed, disabled, or deleted by the user.
The incident has intensified concerns over possible insider trading and transparency on prediction markets.
US lawmakers have previously raised alarms over insider activity and supported efforts to regulate such platforms more tightly.
