Sealed Lawsuit Alleges Bourbon Mogul Wes Henderson Hid Cameras in Family Homes

A sealed lawsuit filed in June 2026 in Oldham County, Kentucky, accuses Wes Henderson, the founder of Angel’s Envy and owner of the Kentucky Castle, of secretly filming family members and others. The complaint alleges Henderson installed hidden cameras in his Florida home and a Kentucky residence, capturing intimate acts and nude images of relatives, some of whom were minors. Henderson’s attorney denies the claims and suggests the case may be voluntarily dismissed. No criminal charges have been filed, and law enforcement retains the seized evidence.

6th Circuit Rules States Can Regulate Kalshi Sports Contracts, Deepening Legal Split

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on September 25 that Ohio and Tennessee may apply state gambling laws to Kalshi’s sports-related event contracts. The unanimous decision rejects Kalshi’s argument that such contracts are federally regulated 'swaps' under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This ruling marks the second major appellate loss for prediction market platforms, following a similar 9th Circuit decision regarding Nevada. The conflicting rulings across circuits have intensified calls for Supreme Court intervention to resolve whether prediction markets are gambling or financial instruments.
