美国商品期货交易委员会指控美国军人在尼古拉斯·马杜罗相关事件合同中进行内幕交易
2026 年 4 月 23 日
华盛顿——商品期货交易委员会今天宣布，它已向美国纽约南区地方法院对北卡罗来纳州的甘农·肯·范·戴克提起诉讼。起诉书称，美国陆军现役军人范戴克利用有关美国抓捕委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯行动的机密非公开信息，在 Polymarket.com 上从事内幕交易（“绝对决心行动”）。
在诉状中，CFTC 寻求赔偿、没收非法所得、民事罚款、交易和注册禁令，以及针对进一步违反《商品交易法》和 CFTC 规定的行为发出永久禁令。
“我非常清楚，任何在我们任何市场从事欺诈、操纵或内幕交易的人都将面临法律的全面制裁，”董事长迈克尔·S·塞利格 (Michael S. Selig) 表示。 “被告被委托掌握有关美国行动的机密信息，但却采取了危害美国国家安全并危及美国军人生命的行动。”
“所有政府成员，包括军人，都对政府和美国人民负有信任和保密的义务，”执法总监戴维·米勒 (David I. Miller) 说。 “被告滥用了这种信任，盗用了有关美国军事行动的极其敏感的信息，从而将我们军人的生命和安全置于危险之中。本案标志着 CFTC 首次指控涉及事件合同的内幕交易，也是 CFTC 首次使用所谓的‘艾迪·墨菲规则’对滥用政府信息提出指控。该部门将继续保持警惕，对预测市场和预测市场中非法使用内幕信息的行为进行监管。正如塞利格主席和我所明确表示的那样，我们不会容忍我们市场上的内幕交易。”
案例背景
根据诉状，至少从 2025 年 12 月到 2026 年 1 月，范戴克参与了“绝对决心行动”的策划和执行。由于此次参与，范戴克获得了有关“行动”的非公开机密或敏感信息。作为一名军人，范戴克对美国政府和美国人民负有信任和保密的义务。范戴克违反了这些义务，在 2025 年 12 月 30 日至 2026 年 1 月 2 日期间，利用该信息购买了超过 436,000 股“马杜罗在 2026 年 1 月 31 日下台？”的股票。合约在 Polymarket.com 上列出。诉状称，范戴克使用 Polymarket 名称“Burdensome-Mix”，通过交易赚取了超过 404,000 美元的利润。
平行犯罪行动
2026 年 4 月 23 日，美国纽约南区检察官办公室宣布在同一法庭对 Van Dyke 提起起诉书，指控其行为与 CFTC 起诉书中指控的行为类似。
CFTC 感谢纽约南区美国检察官办公室的协助。

CFTC Charges U.S. Service Member with Insider Trading in Nicolás Maduro-Related Event Contracts | CFTC
Release Number 9217-26
CFTC Charges U.S. Service Member with Insider Trading in Nicolás Maduro-Related Event Contracts
April 23, 2026
WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced it has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Gannon Ken Van Dyke of North Carolina. The complaint alleges that Van Dyke, who is an active-duty service member in the U.S. Army, engaged in insider trading on Polymarket.com using classified nonpublic information regarding U.S. operations to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores (“Operation Absolute Resolve”).
In the complaint, the CFTC seeks restitution, disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, trading and registration bans, and a permanent injunction against further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations, as charged.
“I have been crystal clear that anyone who engages in fraud, manipulation, or insider trading in any of our markets will face the full force of the law,” said Chairman Michael S. Selig . “The defendant was entrusted with confidential information about U.S. operations and yet took action that endangered U.S. national security and put the lives of American service members in harm’s way.”
“All members of the government, including service members, owe a duty of trust and confidentiality to the government and the American people,” said Director of Enforcement David I. Miller . “The defendant abused that trust by misappropriating extremely sensitive information regarding U.S. military operations, and by doing so, placed the lives and security of our service members at risk. This case marks the first time the CFTC has charged insider trading involving event contracts, and the first time the CFTC has used the so-called ‘Eddie Murphy Rule’ to bring charges based on the misuse of government information. The Division will continue to be vigilant in policing the illegal use of inside information in the prediction markets and other markets within the CFTC’s jurisdiction. As Chairman Selig and I have made clear, we will not tolerate insider trading in our markets, period.”
Case Background
According to the complaint, from at least December 2025 through January 2026, Van Dyke was involved in the planning and execution of “Operation Absolute Resolve.” As a result of this involvement, Van Dyke acquired nonpublic classified or sensitive information concerning the “Operation.” As a service member, Van Dyke owed to the U.S. government and the American people a duty of trust and confidentiality. In violation of those duties, between December 30, 2025, and January 2, 2026, Van Dyke used that information to purchase more than 436,000 “Yes” shares of the “Maduro Out by January 31, 2026?” contract listed on Polymarket.com. The complaint alleges that Van Dyke, who used the Polymarket handle “Burdensome-Mix,” generated more than $404,000 in profits through his trading.
Parallel Criminal Action
On April 23, 2026, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced the unsealing of an indictment against Van Dyke in the same court alleging conduct similar to that alleged in the CFTC’s complaint.
The CFTC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
