Mystery bettor won $400K predicting Maduro capture before US forces moved in: report

An unnamed online user reeled in nearly half a million dollars on betting site Polymarket after accurately predicting Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro would be ousted by the end of January.

The user, who went by "Burdensome-Mix" and was relatively new to the site, placed more than $32,000 in bets related to Maduro's capture, reeling in more than $400,000 after he was taken into custody, according to a report from NBC News.

The user's largest bets were placed the night before U.S. troops invaded Maduro's compound.
