Trump's teleprompter operator just got slapped with a $70k fine for insider trading on prediction markets.
Dude had years of access to Trump's speeches before they went live. Used that edge to trade on polymarket-style platforms betting on what Trump would say.
The admin called it "illegal trading" and hit him with the penalty.
This is why asymmetric info always wins in markets. Whether it's speeches, token launches, or Fed minutes—someone always knows first.
The real alpha isn't what's public. It's what's 10 minutes ahead of public.
