Kalshi accused of insider betting via Trump teleprompter operator

Intelligence Summary

Federal investigators allege Gabriel Perez, Trump’s teleprompter operator, used insider information to place bets on Kalshi’s prediction markets. The claims focus on Kalshi “mentions” markets tied to what Trump would say at public events. Investigators say Perez made wagers on more than a dozen occasions using nonpublic information. Kalshi users may face integrity and fairness risks if privileged information is involved. The case highlights the need for strong compliance and monitoring in prediction-market platforms.
