Summary
Report: Over $100,000 earned Kalshi lets users conclude deals on the likelihood that certain words or phrases or a topic will be addressed at an event, among other things. This is not the first case of this kind. In April, the US Department of Justice accused a soldier of earning over $400,000 on the Polymarket platform with secret knowledge of plans to arrest Venezuelan ruler Nicolás Maduro in early January. The teleprompter operator had made use of this in Trump’s State of the Union speech in February as well as in other appearances of the president, the television station ABC reported, citing sources with knowledge of the CFTC investigations.
Furthermore, He was initially without pay, said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt at a press conference. Polymarket is not licensed in the US, Kalshi is regulated like an exchange with futures contracts by the trade regulator CFTC - which again is controversial. Leavitt said there are “strict ethics guidelines” in the White House that prohibit such business.
In addition, It can be assumed that he had prior knowledge of the text of the speech. Trump has been briefed and thinks it is “deeply regrettable and frankly a disgrace.”.
