Gabriel Perez, fost operator al prompterului de la Casa Albă, amendat pentru pariuri pe discursuri

Gabriel Perez, a former White House prompter operator, must pay over $172,000 for betting on Donald Trump's speeches using insider information. The CFTC found he abused his access to speech texts, violating trust obligations. Perez profited over $107,000 on Kalshi, betting on specific phrases in Trump's speeches. Although his fine was reduced due to cooperation, he remains on unpaid leave and will not return to his position. The case highlights the risks of using privileged information in prediction markets, prompting the White House to advise employees against such betting.
