Google Engineer Charged Over $1.2 Million Betting Scheme. A Google engineer has been arrested and charged in the United States for allegedly using confidential company information to make over 1.2 million dollars through online betting. Federal prosecutors say Michele Spagnuolo used internal Google data to place highly successful bets on the prediction platform Polymarket. Authorities claim the engineer accessed unreleased marketing and search trend information through company tools available to employees, then used that knowledge to gain an unfair advantage. Investigators say he placed nearly 2.7 million dollars in bets related to Google trends between October and December last year. One of his biggest wins allegedly came from correctly predicting the most searched person on Google in 2025 before the information became public. Google says the employee has been placed on leave and the company is cooperating with law enforcement during the investigation.
