DOJ investigating former Rep. George Santos for insider trading on Kalshi
The Justice Department opened a probe into former Rep. George Santos for insider trading after he placed bets on the prediction market Kalshi over whether he would appear at the State of the Union address. Kalshi detected the trades, froze Santos's accounts, and referred the activity to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Justice Department, and filings indicate Santos profited in the tens of thousands of dollars. The investigation tests how prosecutors and regulators apply insider-trading and commodity laws to prediction markets and whether a former lawmaker violated federal trading and disclosure rules.
Wait! The guy who pleaded guilty to fraud and theft is now being accused of…fraud and theft?! PS Will Trump pardon him again? www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...
bebetter2026.bsky.social8Going to nominate him for SEC chairman or may NSA
AutokratDaily6Pleaded guilty to fraud. Pardoned by Trump. Now investigated for insider trading on his own State of the Union appearance. George Santos is not a cautionary tale. He's a business model.
brunomusacchio.bsky.social6I don’t know about you, but I am going on Kalshi and placing my wager that Trump pardons him for a second time. 😉 it’s a sure bet.
loyaltymatters.bsky.social5lol, trump's an F-ing moron per Rex Tillerson, trump's major Oil stockholder & Secretary of State till he jumped ship during trump's 1st term. trump & his zombies will do anything without accountability being required of them meanwhile the evil they create keeps growing-
Black.Metronome 🇧🇧🇧🇲5I'm surprised the DOJ is even investigating this stuff
mj4Is there no rock large enough for this cretin to crawl back under? Be gone already.
ann withane3He's probably still paying off the in$tallment$ on the first pardon.
jc3As long as he comes up with $1M, anyone can get a pardon.
Kenny Kenoir2There ought to be a limit to how many times you can pardon the same guy.
AnnieOPopoAgie 💙💙💙2And people thought he was so imaginative. 🙄

Ni en pedo3It's the Golden Age of Grift and George is still managing to get himself busted.
@SuzanaD33How dumb do you have to be? Rhetorical
Rudy 🇨🇦3Had to look. "Yes, a person can be pardoned by the president more than once. There are no limits on the number of pardons a president can grant to an individual." -duckduckgo
Shapa2Always good to have a body double when you're under investigation.
The Frolicking Gadfly2George Hageman, or Harriet Santos? I'm so confused. 🫤
David2The man is corrupt . That is why he had to resign., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/when...
Bkbethesda2After he agrees to pay a bribe they will let him go. This is their std scheme. Nothing to see here.
🦇 Batsy Cline 🦇2He’s dumb. With a “b”.
Dan Lewis2Well, back to the klink!

jmdjameson.bsky.social9Sacrificial Republican lamb for DOJ PR purposes - "see, we prosecute Republicans too"
Cig Ciglar8He must have forgotten to give the boss his cut.
There’s no business like Mr. Business7The only part of this headline that is shocking in any way is that Trump’s DOJ is investigating him.
mjfgates5He's not even an insider anymore!
rukuss.bsky.social3I swear to God this f-in administration finds a way to make anyone a sympathetic character. You're telling me GEORGE SANTOS is going to be the fall guy for billions of dollars of insider trading and brazen market manipulation??
sunny 🌻2Lmao dude was a loyal clown for trump and he repays him by investigating him
