TechFlow news, on January 4th, according to reports from the American media website Semafor, The New York Times and The Washington Post were informed of relevant information before the start of the U.S. secret raid on Venezuela but delayed publishing the reports at the government's request to avoid endangering the safety of U.S. troops. President Trump approved the operation at 10:46 PM on Friday, ultimately successfully capturing the President of Venezuela. Despite the tense relationship between the Trump administration and mainstream American media, U.S. media still maintained traditional restraint in high-risk operations involving national security. The editorial of The Washington Post expressed strong support for this operation.
Previous news indicated that three suspected insider wallets placed bets in advance on the ousting of Venezuelan President Maduro, with total profits exceeding $630,000. Affected by this, U.S. Congressman Ritchie Torres plans to propose a bill aiming to prohibit federal officials from using insider information to trade in prediction markets.
