BREAKING: The DOJ has arrested a special forces soldier who made $400,000 betting on the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, according to ABC.
Federal investigators say the soldier bet more than $33,000 just hours before Trump announced Maduro's capture.
The special forces soldier was reportedly directly involved with the capture.
"The largest position -- a $32,537 bet that Maduro would be out of office by Jan. 31 -- resulted in a 1,242% profit of $404,222," ABC News reported.
"Following his successful trading relating to Maduro- and Venezuela-related contracts, [Gannon Ken] VAN DYKE allegedly sent most of his proceeds to a foreign cryptocurrency vault before depositing them into a newly created online brokerage account. The same day of the operation, VAN DYKE withdrew the majority of his allegedly unlawful proceeds from his Polymarket account..." the DOJ announced.
"VAN DYKE, 38, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, is charged with three counts of violating the Commodity Exchange Act, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison; one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; and one count of an unlawful monetary transaction, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison."
@FrozenLemonade9@ParadigmCityy@elizamclamb Yes they should. But in the meantime an account growing money they get access to once a year can be more helpful to them than that money available at all times in smaller increments. Out of sight out of mind may be worth more than interest in a savings account.
@FrozenLemonade9@ParadigmCityy@elizamclamb Those needing a good tax return probably don’t have much money or aren’t good at budgeting. You might see no interest they might see a savings account building over the year that they know they don’t have the self discipline to save if it was in their own account.
@FrozenLemonade9@ParadigmCityy@elizamclamb Would you rather I cash app you $1,000 right now or $1 every day until we get to $1,000? Would you save that dollar every day for ~3 years or would it get spent randomly over time? Which would be noticeable? Which scenario would help the most?
@FrozenLemonade9@ParadigmCityy@elizamclamb Most people would have that money in a normal savings account so the interest they’re missing out on is cents. Some people like to have more withheld because a few hundred on your return can be more helpful than an extra few bucks on each pay check.
@weedyrs@AmiriKing You’re not very good at this. When you make a bad take you’re supposed to defend it not roll over then change subjects. Y’all can’t do anything right unless it’s on skates huh?
@weedyrs@AmiriKing No one wants to have a long winded stupid argument on Twitter anymore. What has this world come to. Used to be my favorite past time
@weedyrs@AmiriKing I’m from Pittsburgh dawg. I was rooting for Canada I wanna see Crosby go out on top… but your comment is also a straw man. Your proposal was asinine, the segregation of nations would only hurt the sport
@weedyrs@AmiriKing Don’t forget Canada’s best team right now (Winnipeg jets) only has 10/23 active players as Canadian. Cherry on top? their two best players Kyle Connor and Connor Hellebuyck, both 🇺🇸
@weedyrs@AmiriKing If you’re talking about the 4 nations are you referring to the players with dual citizenship that chose which team they played for? Or are you talking about the NHL cause then you can’t stop there. Take the Russians, Finn’s, Swedes, etc from all the Canadian based teams. Idiotic
@SkylarStaten@D_Clark19@WallStreetApes@BongoClik Now you have a pissed neighbor who’s Mountain View is eclipsed by a apartment complex and their property value has plummeted. Zoning laws exist for a reason else we’d all live next to a factory
@TheBloodyNerve@kalebjackson00 @likethegamers Oh look I can find a definition that supports my side too 😂. Babies are parasitic in nature, better classified as parasitism.
below is a link to published scientific work on the principles of parasitism. Note the nonexistent of separate species req.
