New York sues Kalshi, says prediction market is running 'illegal gambling operation'

It comes after a federal judge earlier this month denied Kalshi's attempts to intervene against the state's Gaming Commission.

Kalshi is quite blatantly a gambling operation. Would people be spending tons of money there otherwise?

By coincidence, Minnesota is also tightening the screws on prediction betting markets this week.

The Trump administration turns a blind eye to the corruption associated with such platforms. In fact, a White House aide apparently made $100,000 betting on Trump speeches.

Trump Teleprompter Operator On Leave After Betting On President's Speeches

The longtime Trump staffer allegedly made $100,000 on the insider bets.

Ryan Grenoble at HuffPost:

A White House teleprompter operator who raked in cash by placing bets on President Donald Trump’s speeches has been placed on unpaid leave, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday. Technical assistant Gabriel Perez allegedly used his inside knowledge of Trump’s speeches, including this year’s State of the Union address, to place bets on the prediction market Kalshi, where he made over $100,000.

Other speeches Perez bet on reportedly included a primetime address in December, Trump’s January address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and a Medal of Honor ceremony in March. Asked repeatedly what the Trump administration is doing to ensure other staffers with inside information aren’t engaged in similar behavior, Leavitt deferred. “There are strict ethical guidelines that explicitly state not to do this,” she said, while acknowledging she was unaware if other White House staffers might also participate in real-time betting markets.

According to ABC News, which broke the story, Perez had operated Trump’s teleprompter since 2016.

Gabriel Perez, the longtime Trump White House teleprompter operator, has been put on leave after revelations of betting on Trump’s speeches on Kalshi emerged.
