By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

A Google software engineer, Michele Spagnuolo, has been charged with fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering for allegedly using confidential company information to make over $1.2 million on the prediction market platform Polymarket. Spagnuolo reportedly accessed Google's internal "Year in Search" data before its public release to place bets on trending search topics, including wagering that singer d4vd would be the most searched person in 2025. Prosecutors emphasized that such insider trading undermines market integrity, and Google has placed the employee on leave pending the investigation. AI
