Crypto trader bets ₹30 lakh predicting Venezuelan Prez Maduro removal; earns ₹4 crore, yielding 1,233% returns within a week

A mystery trader has sparked global debate after earning more than $436,000 on a cryptocurrency-based prediction platform by betting on the removal of Venezuela’s former president Nicolas Maduro just hours before the US publicly announced his capture. The unusually timed wager, placed by a newly created account focused almost entirely on Venezuela-related outcomes, has raised concerns among legal and financial experts about insider knowledge, regulatory gaps and the growing influence of prediction markets tied to geopolitics.
