WASHINGTON, D.C. — A furious Representative Nancy Pelosi condemned an American soldier for engaging in insider trading without telling her first.
The Special Forces soldier, who used inside knowledge of Maduro’s planned capture to make a fortune trading on Polymarket, is accused of completely failing to loop the longtime congresswoman and former Speaker of the House in on the trade beforehand.
“I am completely appalled that a soldier would use his inside knowledge to score a nice profit without me,” said Pelosi. “Not sending me this hot tip ahead of time reflects a complete lack of integrity and sound judgment. We have a deep ethical problem when our military would stoop so low as to reap a 1,000% profit without letting us in on the trade.”
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle echoed Pelosi’s sentiment, denouncing the soldier for not disclosing his inside knowledge to them. “We can’t have just anyone profiting off privileged information,” said one senior lawmaker. “That’s our thing. It’s disgusting that this soldier would deign to do such a thing without getting Congress in on the action.”
At publishing time, Pelosi had reportedly placed a $70,000 Polymarket bet on the soldier’s court-martial.
