Kalshi disciplined users for insider trading, including a politician who intentionally bet on his own race.

Summary

Prediction market platform Kalshi has announced new disciplinary actions against users for insider trading, including a politician who intentionally bet on his own election outcome. The company aims to demonstrate strong internal controls amidst regulatory scrutiny. Among those disciplined are Mark Moran, a former reality TV star and candidate for the Virginia U.S. Senate race, who received a five-year suspension and a $6,229 fine for betting on his own candidacy to expose Kalshi. Matt Klein, a Minnesota state lawmaker running for the U.S. House, and Ezekiel Enriquez, a Texas candidate for the U.S. House, also faced penalties for betting on their own elections, receiving suspensions and fines after cooperating with Kalshi's inquiry. Kalshi's rules allow for fines and suspensions to deter future violations, and the company has been publicly announcing such cases since February.
