Bubblemaps rejects alleged link between WLFI co‑founder and Polymarket Maduro bets

Beincrypto reports blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps has rejected speculation tying a World Liberty Financial (WLFI) co‑founder to a Polymarket account that placed bets on Nicolás Maduro’s exit. The controversy began after on‑chain analyst Lookonchain and Andrew 10 GWEI flagged three wallets that bet on Maduro leaving office before a January 3 announcement that US President Donald Trump had announced the capture of the Venezuelan president.

Lookonchain said the wallets were created and funded days earlier and executed bets hours ahead of the announcement; one wallet, 0x31a5, reportedly converted about $32,000 into $400,000. Andrew 10 GWEI pointed to funding patterns, saying both wallets that funded the Polymarket account received Coinbase deposits and transferred funds directly to the platform.

He cited a 252.39 SOL deposit on January 1 that he linked to a roughly 23‑hour‑earlier deposit of 252.91 SOL, noted ENS names such as STVLU.SOL and StCharles.SOL that he said resembled "Steven Charles," and reported that winnings were withdrawn to Coinbase before about $170,000 of Fartcoin was later sent from Coinbase to STVLU.sol.
