Multiple reports state the individual was ordered to pay $172,000, though CNN reports a $65,000 fine to settle the case. The penalties include a requirement to turn over profits. This action follows a broader crackdown on prediction market manipulation, including a lifetime ban and $71,000 penalty imposed by Kalshi against former Congressman George Santos for betting on his own State of the Union attendance.Why it mattersPr
