بالأرقام
It was alleged that Gabriel Perez, a White House technical assistant serving as President Donald Trump's prompter operator, made illegal trades on the prediction market platform Kalshi by gaining early access to speech texts. Perez is accused of earning more than 100 thousand dollars by betting on whether certain words or topics would appear in Trump's speeches.
Sources close to the investigation stated that Perez traded on more than 12 speeches over a three-month period and gained an advantage by utilizing last-minute access to the speech text. The fact that Perez withdrew his bets during certain moments when Trump deviated from the prepared text further increased suspicions. Significant events that were subject to betting included the State of the Union address and the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The Kalshi platform's audit unit detected the suspicious transactions, reported the situation to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), froze the account, and prevented a 90 thousand dollar withdrawal. While it was reported that Perez accepted some of the transactions and settlement negotiations with the CFTC are ongoing, a White House official announced that the employee in question was dismissed. Following the incident, Kalshi implemented new rules requiring users to declare their workplaces.
