Goldman Sachs has banned employees from trading in financial and political prediction markets. This means employees are prohibited from trading event contracts related to specific companies (including Goldman Sachs), election outcomes, and financial market performance. Sports and entertainment betting is permitted. The company warned that repeated violations could lead to termination or account closure. Especially in cases of inappropriate trades, the bank may confiscate profits exceeding $200 from the employee or require them to donate it to a charity.
