Washington Man Lost Over $300K on Kalshi, Files Lawsuit Against the Company

If you’ve been reading about prediction markets in the last couple of years, you might know that providers such as Kalshi and Polymarket have faced many lawsuits from various organizations and institutions. In fact, earlier this week, the Alabama-Quassarte Tribe filed a lawsuit against Kalshi over its PokkeTrades partnership . However, private citizens are also suing Kalshi; one man who lost over $308,000 on the company’s platform filed a lawsuit, claiming the prediction market provider violated Washington State’s ban on online gambling. Man Sues Kalshi After Losing $308,000 Scott Bright from Bellevue, Washington , argued in a lawsuit filed on September 24 in King County Superior Court that his wagers were placed “at a time when it was unlawful in Washington and when the Washington Attorney General had already sued KalshiEX LLC in this Court alleging precisely that.” Kalshi has since filed a motion seeking to dismiss the case. The Plaintiff’s side essentially argues that Kalshi’s product constitutes online gambling, which Washington has explicitly banned since 2006 . The state has long had a law allowing individuals who lose money through illegal gambling to sue the operators responsible and recover their losses, the Plaintiff argues. According to the lawsuit, between

Socialist mayors to lead LA, D.C., NYC, Seattle as Trump warns of ‘disaster’

(The Center Square) – Democratic Socialists will now lead America’s two most populous cities and the nation’s capital, raising questions over the Democratic Socialist of America platform. More than 14 million people will live under the leadership of Democratic Socialist mayors in a handful of American cities. Nithya Raman was elected mayor of Los Angeles and Janeese Lewis George was elected to lead Washington, D.C. in Tuesday’s elections, both mayor-elects are Democratic Socialists. Upon being sworn in, Raman and Lewis George will join New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson in leading major metropolises, leading critics to be concerned about how their socialist agendas will impact the cities they lead. A lot of eyes will likely be on LA, as the city is set to host the 2028 Summer Olympics, with thousands of people from around the world set to descend on the California city, plagued with a massive homeless problem. President Donald Trump was asked about the latest round of socialist candidates leading the major cities in the Oval Office.
