On 24 August, CFTC instituted criminal proceedings against United States soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke for his bet on Polymarket. Van Dyke ' s lawyer objected to the court opinion submitted by CFTC, arguing that the CFTC sought to assert its regulatory authority through criminal prosecution, while its parallel civil proceedings remained suspended. Judge Margaret Garnett declined the request to exclude the opinion, stating that the Court would give “due weight” to the CFTC argument. Van Dyke pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the Polymucket bet, and the CTC requested a response to Van Dyke ' s argument that the Polymucket contract in relation to Venezuela was a bet rather than a run-off regulated by the commodity trading law. Van Dyke faced multiple allegations of commodity fraud, electronic fraud and, on 23 April, CFTC initiated parallel civil proceedings, the first of its own insider trading cases involving contracts for predicting market events。
