Santos Banned for Bet Manipulation | Denver News

Former Congressman George Santos got a lifetime ban and a $71K penalty from prediction market Kalshi after allegedly insider trading on his own attendance at the State of the Union — turning a $17K profit by betting while publicly claiming he’d be there, then pivoting to “stuck at the airport” just as the speech began. Kalshi says his public statements manipulated odds, especially after Trump granted him clemency months earlier. Santos shrugged it off, calling the market “fragile.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
