The Baffling Bet on Trump's Speeches The White House teleprompter operator Gabriel Perez has been accused of making nearly $100,000 in profits by placing bets on words President Trump would use during major public addresses.
Perez, who had worked at the White House since 2016, allegedly used his position to gain an unfair advantage in "mention markets" on the prediction platform Kalshi.
Perez's actions have raised questions about the vulnerability of sensitive information and the lack of oversight within institutions like the White House.
