Summary
George Santos, the former congressman and current legend, is making headlines again. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission just slapped him with a 35-thousand-dollar fine. His crime? Attempting to bet on his own attendance at the State of the Union this past February. He's also been banned for three years from the prediction market Kalshi. Santos, it seems, has little remorse for this latest scandal. Another day, another eyebrow-raising move from the man who consistently defies expectations.
