White House Teleprompter Operator Accused of Making $100k from Trump Speech Bets Gabriel Perez, a teleprompter operator who worked at the White House since 2016, is accused of using his position to make nearly $100,000 in bets on President Trump's speeches.
According to ABC News, Perez was betting on "mention markets," contracts where users predict whether a speaker will use specific words or phrases during major public addresses.
The allegations were made by Kalshi, a prediction markets platform that froze Perez's account and handed evidence to regulators. The firm claims its analysts noticed unusual betting patterns in March.
