Trump’s voting device operator fined $65,000
The Trump administration imposed a fine of $65,000 on Gabriel Perez, a employee who worked for a long time as an operator of Donald Trump's automated trading device, due to illegal trades on prediction markets regarding Trump's policies, using insider information. The committee also required him to forfeit $107,000 of the illicit profits he made from these trades, despite receiving a reduction in the penalty for cooperating during the investigation. This case is considered the first known instance of a White House employee involved in a scheme trading based on insider information in prediction markets, which have seen a significant surge in popularity this year.
