According to on-chain analyst Andrew 10 GWEI (@Andrey_10gwei), a trader on the Polymarket platform who profited $400,000 by betting on the early exit of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro allegedly has funding connections with World Liberty Finance (WLFI) co-founder Steven Charles Witkoff.

On-chain analysis shows that one of the wallets funding the Polymarket account (2i7HJJ…) received 252.39 SOL from Coinbase on January 1 at 23:53 UTC. Approximately 23 hours earlier, on January 1 at 00:48 UTC, a wallet named STVLU.SOL (address BCcTrxcow…) deposited 252.91 SOL into Coinbase, with a matching amount of 99%.

The STVLU.SOL wallet is registered with the StCharles.SOL domain, and its initial funding source is a wallet named Solhundred.sol. This Solhundred.sol wallet has had transactions worth $11 million with another wallet named StevenCharles.sol, which allegedly points to World Liberty Finance (WLFI) co-founder Steven Charles Witkoff.

Additionally, within 3-4 hours after the profit funds from Polymarket were withdrawn to Coinbase, $170,000 worth of Fartcoin was transferred to the STVLU.sol wallet.
