George Santos Shilled Polymarket While Trading on Kalshi

George Santos, the former U.S. congressman with an extensive history of public scandal, has been dropped by prediction market platform Polymarket after it came to light that he publicly promoted the service while actively trading on its direct competitor Kalshi.

The move to cut ties comes as the U.S. Department of Justice has launched a formal investigation into Santos’ alleged trading activity on Kalshi, sparking concerns over potential conflicts of interest tied to his public endorsements of the rival platform.

Santos is already well-known for widespread controversy, having previously admitted to fabricating the majority of his personal and professional background during his 2022 campaign for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Recent reports also indicate that Santos may once again seek support from former President Donald Trump as he faces the latest Justice Department probe into his activities.
