🚨For Immediate Release
March 1st, 2026
Numerous market participants have raised substantial allegations that Kalshi Inc. improperly settled the Khamenei event contract, thereby extinguishing the lawful positions and economic interests of market participants who, under the contract’s stated terms, should have been in‑the‑money. Any such conduct, if established, may constitute violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and related federal anti‑fraud and market‑manipulation provisions, and may expose Kalshi, as well as its senior executives, officers, and compliance personnel, to direct personal liability.
We are in the process of implementing and demanding a formal litigation hold directed to Kalshi Inc. and all affiliated entities and custodians. This includes the immediate preservation of all potentially relevant electronically stored information and hard‑copy documents, including but not limited to: order books, transaction and settlement logs, internal and external communications (email, messaging platforms, and chat systems), customer support records, dispute‑resolution files, risk and compliance analyses, and any internal deliberations regarding the design, interpretation, or settlement methodology of the Khamenei contract. Any alteration, destruction, loss, or failure to preserve such evidence after a reasonable anticipation of litigation may constitute spoliation and may result in adverse inference instructions, evidentiary sanctions, monetary penalties, and additional liability.
I, Benjamin Geller, am acting as the proposed lead plaintiff and class representative for a growing putative class of thousands of affected Kalshi users who suffered economic harm as a direct and foreseeable result of the disputed settlement of the Khamenei contract. This matter involves substantial aggregate losses, a nationwide class of retail market participants, and raises serious concerns regarding the integrity, transparency, and lawfulness of conduct on a federally regulated prediction market platform.
National plaintiffs’ firms with significant experience in complex litigation, class actions, commodities and derivatives fraud, and financial‑markets enforcement that are prepared to represent a nationwide class of affected Kalshi users are invited to contact me promptly to discuss investigation, case theory, class definition, and forum strategy.

@mansourtarek_ Got caught having to pay out and backtracked. Scammers.

On Khamenei:
We don’t list markets directly tied to death. When there are markets where potential outcomes involve death, we design the rules to prevent people from profiting from death. That is what we did here.
I know some of you disagree and prefer that we list these markets without a death carveout because it keeps the rules simple and because many traditional markets, like oil futures, can be proxy markets for war and death. But we believe that’s different than having a market directly settling on someone’s death, which is not allowed for US regulated entities.
What’s the point of the market, then?
A market on Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader was important because leadership changes in Iran have major impact on the world order:
• geopolitical implications
• economic consequences
• national security considerations
• oil and commodity prices, many of which move based on news and expectations around this outcome
And it’s always possible for a ruler to step down or transition power without death, even in autocracies. It just happened in Venezuela.
In these instances, we make the caveat clear in the rules and in the market page, but today is a good learning that we can do more in terms of improving the UX and adding more ways to surface the rules. We are committed to improving. In the meantime, here’s what we’re going to do:
• We are reimbursing all fees from this market
• If you have a position from before Khamenei died, you will be paid out on the last-traded price before his death. (This was clear in our rules)
• If you have a position from after he died, we’re going to fully reimburse your cost of entry

@KaseysCards @Topps Considering Topps/Fanatics are cutting all but what they deem "top breakers" off from buying, yes they are absolutely sending juiced cases...
English

I 100% believe @Topps does NOT send loaded boxes, and the Filthbomb situation actually proves it.
My take: Topps wouldn’t juice one breaker like that. Fanatics owns Fanatics Live and Topps, and there are tons of breakers across the platform.
If product was being juiced, it would be spread out across breakers — not dumped with one company in a way that’s this obvious.
You can absolutely question the collation. There are already other examples popping up. But no, I don’t think anything is getting juiced or handed out.
Topps/Fanatics wouldn’t: 1. Risk pissing off customers and collectors, and 2. Undermine all their other breaker partners just to favor one breaker.

@filthbombbreaks @Topps @fanaticslive Complete BS. @Topps and @FanaticsCollect have killed the hobby.

Am I right in thinking that #vExpert just gives you VMUG Advantage (saving $210) and 50% off exams? Those are the benefits?

@MaxVelocityWX I coined that, can’t believe it took off. Also, sorry for that.

@MaxVelocityWX We’ve got 15 people at a state park in Kenosha County, Wi. What’s the potential that cell holds up for the next hour or so?
