The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating after Kalshi personnel admitted that President Donald Trump’s teleprompter operator won around $100,000 trading on Kalshi on what Trump’s speeches would include.
The CFTC is looking into the case where Trump's teleprompter operator, Gabriel Perez, allegedly bet on the content of over a dozen of Trump's speeches on the prediction market platform Kalshi. This news emerged following reports by various media outlets, such as ABC News, detailing the situation.
The investigation stems from revelations that Perez managed to secure approximately $100,000 in winnings by speculating on the topics that would be covered in Trump's public addresses through live bets on Kalshi.
