GOP House candidate in battleground district slapped with $2.5K fine, 3-year ban for ‘dumb’ Kalshi insider trades

Col. Laurie Buckhout, a Republican candidate in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District, was fined $2,500 and banned for three years from trading on the Kalshi exchange. The fine was levied due to Buckhout's placement of a trade on Kalshi concerning her own campaign's potential success.
