This is such a small amount that either this is one of many accounts the user made in order to mask said activity or this was just a lucky bet (people make stupid lucky bets on hunches all the time).

Imagine the massive value of having such a world changing event in advance (the search volume alone probably affected an order of magnitude more in online advertising revenue at least). $430k?! Are you F’ing serious?

There were hundreds, maybe thousands of people involved in the operation. They weren't all millionaires. It could have been any random soldier, CIA/DEA agent, politicial aide, journalist or really any low-mid level operative with $30K available to them at the time.
