Ilmeisesti Trumpin puheiden telepromptterioperaattori käytti sisäpiiritietoa Kalshissa
Tutkimus keskittyy Gabriel Pereziin, jota epäillään sisäpiiritiedon hyödyntämisestä ennustemarkkinoilla. Kalshi on alusta, jolla käyttäjät voivat lyödä vetoa tapahtumista.
Prediction market platform Kalshi said it detected insider trading by individuals associated with President Donald Trump's teleprompter operator. Federal investigators are reportedly looking into allegations that Gabriel Perez, who operated teleprompters for Trump since 2016, used non-public information to place bets on the exchange.
Perez is accused of betting on the content of Trump's speeches during more than a dozen events. Kalshi offers "mentions" markets, which allow users to speculate on what specific individuals might say during high-profile events. Investigators believe Perez may have leveraged his access to information for financial gain on the platform.
Kalshi, in a statement, indicated it has robust systems for detecting suspicious trading activity and has cooperated with authorities. The company emphasizes its commitment to market integrity and fairness for all users. The investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been formally announced against Perez.
This case highlights potential vulnerabilities in prediction markets, particularly when individuals with privileged access to information participate. The outcome could influence regulatory oversight of such platforms and the types of data considered material non-public information.
