Missouri launches sports betting as recent scandals shine a spotlight on the growing industry

November 30, 2025

The state began allowing bets Monday with some limitations, including that people won’t be allowed to make prop bets for games involving Missouri college players. Prop bets are a popular type of wager often focused on what individual players will do in a game. The restriction highlights concerns over prop bets following recent scandals involving both professional and collegiate athletes.

Trump commutes prison sentence for former private equity executive David Gentile

November 30, 2025

President Donald Trump has commuted the prison sentence of a former investment manager convicted of defrauding investors. It’s the latest in a series of clemency actions Trump has taken in white-collar criminal cases. David Gentile had been convicted for his role in what the Justice Department at the time described as a scheme to defraud investors. His firm had raised $1.6 billion to acquire companies. The White House said the firm had disclosed to investors that their capital might go to pay dividends to other investors — undercutting claims that it had engaged in a “Ponzi” scheme in which new investments are used to reimburse previous investors.
