George Santos is under federal scrutiny after suspicious trades on prediction market Kalshi, where he allegedly bet against his own attendance at Trump’s State of the Union — just as he claimed to be stuck at the airport. Kalshi flagged the activity and alerted regulators, reigniting questions about Santos’ history of fraud and his recent clemency from Trump. Social media erupted with accusations of a coordinated scheme, while Santos blamed market volatility. This case underscores rising regulatory interest in prediction markets, following similar insider trading allegations involving classified information. The story is still unfolding — but it’s a stark reminder that these platforms are now under the microscope.
