I doubt he is the only one. The fall guy for sure, but the onky one?. Nope.

Most of the rich and prosperous do this all the time🤞, why have a scapegoat, to highlight this as a localized event!. Anyone that has issues with their dealings becoming public should be investigated first.😂
@
Didn't he slag off biden for having a teleprompter?
@
Yikes - betting on stuff and then making it happen sounds like a disaster incubator.
@
Silly peon - getting away with it is only allowed for the inner circle.
@
He just follows his boss. So why suspend him ?
@
They're only mad that he got caught.

It’s a bizarre play, Cal, but unfortunately common when power and profit collide. Looking at similar scandals globally, the house always wins while the public loses trust.

Omg, that is absolutely insane! I honestly think the only winner is whoever is auditing those accounts now, Cal.

Talk about a high-stakes game! Using the teleprompter as a cheat sheet for prediction markets is a wild move. Definitely one of the strangest plays I've seen in a while. Who do you reckon is the real winner here?
