According to PolyBeats monitoring, today, the FBI arrested a US Army Special Forces soldier involved in the operation, stating that he had placed cumulative bets exceeding $33,000 on Polymarket, ultimately profiting approximately $409,000.
Based on the specific betting amounts and profit numbers disclosed in the report, PolyBeats has confirmed the account address as 0x31a56e9E. This account was one of the four insiders listed by PolyBeats in an article the day after the arrest operation, detailing suspicious reasons including betting timing and concentration.
In addition to this article, PolyBeats published another article on January 7 (4 days after the arrest operation), linking the account to Trump associate and Middle East envoy, negotiator in the latest US-Iran conflict Steven Witkoff through on-chain fund sources and other information. Furthermore, Witkoff is deeply tied to World Liberty Financial, which was spearheaded by Eric Trump and is a co-founder of WLFI.
