New York targets Kalshi, seeks $36B penalty to halt prediction market

TL;DR Summary
New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a 32-page lawsuit in Manhattan state court seeking to shut down Kalshi’s prediction-market operations and impose up to $36 billion in penalties, arguing the platform illegally operates as unregulated gambling and violates state age requirements. Kalshi denies wrongdoing, says it should be federally regulated by the CFTC, and the suit follows federal court losses and ongoing state challenges that could reshape regulation of prediction markets and potentially affect executives’ liability.
