Utah, known for its strict anti-gambling policy, filed a criminal complaint against Kalshi on Wednesday. According to the source's announcement, the complaint includes 14 charges, while the headline of the same material cites 13 felony-level charges. The source text is inconsistent on this point, so the exact number of charges cannot be established from the available material.
The complaint brings charges of second- and third-degree felonies. The co-defendants are the company's co-founders: CEO Tarek Mansour and COO Luana Lopez Lara.
According to the source, Utah's move is the latest escalation in the state's conflict with the prediction markets industry.
