In the United States, a high-stakes bet made one day before the event regarding the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sparked significant controversy. It was claimed that the person who won approximately $400,000 with a $30,000 bet was Barron Trump, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump. The allegation became a topic of discussion on social media but has not been verified.
A notable transaction in the prediction and betting markets in the U.S. has sparked significant public debate. Allegedly, a user placed a bet of about $30,000 on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro just one day before he was "taken," and made a profit of around $400,000 when the event occurred.
THE TIMING OF THE BET CAUGHT ATTENTION
The fact that the bet was placed on a low-probability scenario and yielded high returns in a short time led to various claims among social media users. The most striking of these claims was that the person who placed the bet was Barron Trump, the son of Donald Trump.
CLAIM NOT VERIFIED
However, reports in the U.S. media emphasized that there has been no official confirmation regarding the identity of the person who placed the bet. While betting platforms do not share any names due to user privacy, there has been no official statement from Barron Trump or the Trump family regarding the claims.
"INSIDER INFORMATION" DEBATE
Experts indicate that such high-profit transactions can occasionally be seen in prediction markets, but bets related to presidents and international operations raise serious questions. The claims have also brought up the question of whether information was leaked in advance to the public.
So far, there has been no officially announced investigation related to the bet by U.S. authorities. While the claims remain limited to social media and some websites, uncertainty regarding the issue continues.
