BlockBeats News, January 5th, on-chain data analyst @Andrey_10gwei dissected an insider trader at Polymarket who made over $400,000 in profit after accurately betting on Maduro's arrest, with funding linked to World Liberty Finance (WLFI) co-founder Steven Charles Witkoff.

On-chain analysis shows that one of the wallets that funded the insider trader's Polymarket account received 252.39 SOL from Coinbase at 23:53 UTC on January 1st. Approximately 23 hours earlier, at 00:48 UTC on January 1st, a wallet named STVLU.SOL deposited 252.91 SOL into Coinbase, with a 99% match in the two amounts.

The STVLU.SOL wallet is registered with the StCharles.SOL domain (abbreviation of Steven Charles Witkoff's name), originally funded from a wallet with the domain Solhundred.sol. The Solhundred.sol wallet had a $11 million transaction with another wallet named StevenCharles.sol, which is suspected to be linked to World Liberty Finance (WLFI) co-founder Steven Charles Witkoff. Additionally, within 3-4 hours of the insider trader withdrawing Polymarket profit to Coinbase, $170,000 worth of Fartcoin was transferred to the STVLU.SOL wallet address.
