OpenAI has terminated an employee who allegedly used confidential company information to make trades on prediction markets, including Polymarket and Kalshi. The company confirmed the firing to Wired, stating the behavior violated internal policies prohibiting the use of inside information for personal gain. Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi allow wagers on real-world events, including OpenAI product announcements and IPO timing. The incident follows a similar case this week where Kalshi fined and banned a MrBeast editor for alleged insider trading on its platform.
