Betrayal of Trust: When Insider Knowledge Becomes a Side Hustle Gabriel Perez, a former White House teleprompter operator, has been fined $65,000 and banned from trading on Kalshi, a prediction market platform, for three years.
Perez made over $107,500 by betting on Trump's words while working at the White House, raising serious questions about the integrity of those entrusted with sensitive information.
Perez's actions are a stark reminder that even in an era where side hustles are increasingly normalized, there will always be individuals who seek to exploit their position for personal gain.
