WSJ What’s News · Why Businesses Are Selling Their Tariff Refund Claims to Wall Street · 25 Feb 2026 podcast

So for the case of the trader who bet on his own victory in the race for the California governor, he actually posted a video that seemingly showed him making that bet on X. So it sounds like this surveillance department saw that video, froze his account and investigated and then found that his trades violated Kalshi's rules.

And then the second case with the video editor who worked for Mr. Beast, it looks like the data show that he was getting some pretty successful trades on a market where that is pretty difficult.

And that not only raised the concerns of people at Kalshi who work on that same team, but also of Kalshi users who flagged it to Kalshi.

So in both cases, it was the work of the surveillance department and in the second case of the Kalshi users as well.

Yeah, so in the case of the political wagers, Cal State prohibits candidates in a political race from making bets in markets related to their own elections, as well as those employed by political action committees.

And if you look at the LinkedIn page of Kyle Langford, who is the trader who was faced with these fines, it says that he is the president of a California-based PAC company.

And for the second user, he was privy to information that is not public to other people.

And so he should not have any trading on markets related to Mr. Beast, according to Kaoshi's rules.

It seems like that is likely that it will happen.

These prediction markets are only becoming more popular.

And there's a lot of concerns about insider trading and market manipulation, especially because these markets are geared towards everyday Americans.

And Kelshi did announce just a couple of weeks ago a lot of hires they'd made to crack down on this sort of activity.

Thanks.

WSJ What’s News · What’s News in Markets: Fed Chair, Layoffs, Meme Stock · 31 Jan 2026 podcast

Hey, listeners.

It's Saturday, January 31st.

I'm Crystal Herr for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets, our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.

Let's get to it.

An onslaught of news coming out of corporate America and the White House, more on that later, led to topsy-turvy moves this week.

Gold, a haven for nervous investors, jumped to a new record earlier this week and settled above $5,300 for the first time.

But trading turned volatile by Thursday, with prices seeing the largest range between the midday high and low since 2013.
