一名被指控利用内幕信息在预测市场Kalshi上下注的前白宫提词器操作员,已被勒令上缴超过10万美元的非法所得,并支付6.5万美元罚款,作为与联邦当局达成和解协议的一部分。
这项与美国商品期货交易委员会达成的和解于周五公布,同时还对加布里埃尔·佩雷斯实施了三年的交易禁令。据两名知情人士上月向哥伦比亚广播公司透露,佩雷斯被发现利用职务之便,就特朗普总统的演讲内容下注,随后被白宫停发薪水并停职。
白宫并未立即就该和解协议置评。一名白宫官员在7月表示,佩雷斯已不再担任该职位,但未说明他是被解雇还是主动辞职。
该委员会查明,佩雷斯在2025年12月至2026年2月期间,通过押注特朗普演讲中会出现的词汇和短语,在预测市场获利107500美元。
“佩雷斯在任职期间能够提前获取总统演讲内容,他挪用该信息,违反了其应尽的信任与保密义务,”该委员会在一份声明中表示。
佩雷斯被要求全额退还非法所得,外加6.5万美元的民事罚款。该委员会表示,考虑到佩雷斯“配合态度极佳”,因此减轻了处罚力度。
早在今年3月,白宫管理办公室就曾致函白宫助手,告知他们不得利用非公开信息在预测市场下注,多名政府官员在4月向哥伦比亚广播公司透露。

一名Kalshi发言人在7月向哥伦比亚广播公司透露,该公司在监控系统检测到佩雷斯的交易不符合典型买卖模式后,对其交易活动展开了调查。该发言人证实,Kalshi冻结了佩雷斯的账户,锁定了他在该平台上获得的逾9万美元利润。
完成调查后,Kalshi将此案移交至美国商品期货交易委员会。该发言人表示,公司已与CFTC合作数月。
收录政府工作人员传记信息的数据库LegiStorm的公开记录显示,佩雷斯在特朗普第一和第二任期内都为其政府工作,期间担任过技术顾问和提词器操作员等职务。记录显示,他于2025年1月开始在白宫办公室担任技术顾问。
随着相关细节在7月16日曝光,白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利夫特称这一事件“令人遗憾”且“有失体面”。
Ex-White House teleprompter operator ordered to pay $172,000 for insider bets on Kalshi
August 28, 2026 / 11:37 PM EDT / CBS/AP
A former White House teleprompter operator accused of using inside knowledge to make bets on the prediction market Kalshi has been ordered to turn over more than $100,000 in profits and pay a $65,000 fine as part of a settlement with federal authorities.
The settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, announced Friday, also dealt Gabriel Perez a three-year trading ban. Perez was placed on unpaid leave from his job at the White House after it was determined he used his position to make bets on what President Trump would say in speeches, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News last month.
The White House did not immediately comment on the settlement. A White House official said in July that Perez was no longer in his position but did not say if he had been fired or resigned.
The commission found that Perez made $107,500 on prediction markets by betting on words and phrases that would appear in Mr. Trump’s speeches between December 2025 and February 2026.
“In his position, Perez had access to presidential speeches prior to those speeches being delivered and Perez misappropriated that information — in breach of his duty of trust and confidence,” according to a release from the commission.
Perez was ordered to repay his profits in full, along with the $65,000 civil penalty, which the commission said was a reduction because of his “exemplary cooperation.”
Back in March, the White House Management Officesent a letter to White House aides telling them not to place bets on prediction markets with nonpublic information, multiple administration officials told CBS News in April.

A Kalshi spokesperson told CBS News in July that the company investigated Perez’s trading activity after its surveillance systems detected trades that didn’t adhere to typical buying and selling patterns. Kalshi froze Perez’s account, locking more than $90,000 in profits he made on the platform, the spokesperson confirmed.
After completing its investigation, Kalshi referred the case to the CFTC. The Kalshi spokesperson said the company has been working with the CFTC for months.
Public records on LegiStorm, a database with biographical information on government staffers, show Perez worked for the Trump administration during the president’s first and second terms, during which he’s held roles as a technical adviser and teleprompter operator. In January 2025, he started as a technical adviser for the White House Office, records show.
As details emerged July 16, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it was “unfortunate” and “a disgrace.”
