I THOUGHT THEY HAD TO GET SWORN IN BEFORE ENGAGING IN THIS LEVEL OF CORRUPTION: Prediction market Kalshi suspends 3 congressional candidates for betting on their own races.
The candidates, named in regulatory filings as Ezekiel Enriquez in Texas, Matt Klein in Minnesota, and Mark Moran in Virginia, wagered on the outcomes of their elections in violation of the platform’s rules.
Enriquez and Klein both wagered on the outcomes of their races, the platform said. But Moran, who ran as a Democrat in Virginia’s primary for U.S. Senate, also placed bets on himself under the event contract, “Who will run for public office this year?” before subsequently announcing his candidacy, according to the platform.
“Moran qualified as a direct decision maker for this contract and had direct influence on the outcome of the underlying event,” the filing states. Moran later also wagered on the outcome of his race, Kalshi said.
They’ll fit right in.
