Santos Bet Against Himself
Description
George Santos is back in legal trouble after federal prosecutors got wind of suspicious betting activity on Kalshi, a prediction market. He publicly boasted he’d attend Trump’s State of the Union — then placed a bet he wouldn’t. The platform flagged the trades and alerted regulators, sparking questions about insider trading. Santos denies any knowledge of an investigation or even having an account, but his own social media post claiming he was stuck at the airport fueled backlash. This isn’t his first rodeo — he’s a convicted fraudster whose sentence was commuted by Trump — and now, lawmakers are pushing for tighter regulation of these increasingly popular markets, even passing a Senate resolution to bar lawmakers from using them.
