According to CoinMeta, on August 10th, Judge Andrew Carter in the U.S. approved the prosecution's request to suspend the civil case against Garnon Ken Van Dyke, a current member of the U.S. Army Special Forces. The case involves his use of confidential information to earn over $400,000 through a Polymarket contract. The prosecution believes that allowing both cases to proceed simultaneously could lead to overlapping evidence, witnesses, and legal issues. Van Dyke opposes this request and seeks to defend himself in both cases at the same time. CFTC accuses him of using non-public information obtained through his military role for fraudulent transactions, and seeks restitution, compensation, civil fines, and a ban on further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act. Van Dyke is charged with illegally using government confidential information, stealing non-public information, commodity fraud, electronic fraud, and engaging in illegal currency transactions.
