North Korean operatives now hidden inside dozens of US firms

Kalshi permanently bans George Santos following CFTC settlement
George Santos has been banned from Kalshi for life, a decisive move tied to his State of the Union bets. The action follows the CFTC's settlement of charges against him two months ago. It's a firm stance, and one that underscores accountability in prediction markets. For context, our piece on India's caller-ID app rules shows how platforms are tightening their own compliance.

For users navigating this landscape, the takeaway is pragmatic: stay informed, stay adaptable.
