## Resource

A former president’s longtime teleprompter operator is on unpaid leave after allegedly using insider speech knowledge to profit over $100K betting on Kalshi, a prediction market. The White House called it a “shame” as Kalshi flagged the activity, alerted regulators, and now bans work-related wagers. This scandal adds to mounting scrutiny of administration members profiting from their roles, exposing the thin line between public service and personal gain.
