在这位前纽约州议员拒绝配合该公司对其涉嫌围绕2026年国情咨文演讲出席情况进行的违规交易调查后，卡尔希（Kalshi）预测市场平台已将乔治·桑托斯永久封禁。
卡尔希的一位发言人表示，桑托斯被封禁是因为他“拒绝配合”公司合规部门的调查。该部门调查显示，相关交易为桑托斯带来了近1.8万美元的利润。该发言人证实，桑托斯是首位被终身封禁的用户。
公司网站上的文件显示，该预测市场还对桑托斯处以71356美元的罚款。
“嘿@Kalshi，感谢你们将我终身封禁你们的赌博平台，”桑托斯周一在X平台上写道，“咱们看看你们还能撑多久。”
桑托斯曾担任众议院纽约州第3选区议员，2023年因被控欺诈和违反竞选财务规定被驱逐出境。
今年7月，桑托斯同意支付3.5万美元，以了结联邦政府对其在卡尔希平台上可疑交易的调查。美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）同时对桑托斯实施了三年的交易禁令。
商品期货交易委员会指控，在2月12日至2月25日期间，桑托斯针对一项名为“谁将出席国情咨文演讲？”的合约以及他本人是否会出席该活动进行交易。
根据卡尔希网站上发布的一则通知，桑托斯本可以影响该活动的结果，因此被禁止投注与国情咨文演讲相关的合约。
但卡尔希表示，桑托斯随后进行了一系列与其出席该活动相关的交易，并多次发表公开言论，试图影响该预测市场合约的价格。

Kalshi bans ex-congressman George Santos for life after suspicious trades

Kalshi has permanently banned George Santos from its prediction market platform after the former New York lawmaker failed to cooperate with the company’s investigation into allegedly unlawful trades he made related to his attendance at the 2026 State of the Union address.
A Kalshi spokesperson said Santos is being banned due to “his lack of cooperation” with its compliance department, which was investigating trades the company said netted him nearly $18,000 in profits. Santos is the first person to receive a lifetime ban, the spokesperson confirmed.
The prediction market also penalized him $71,356, a filing on the company’s website shows.
“Hey @Kalshi thanks for the lifetime ban from your gambling platform,” Santos wrote on X on Monday. “Let’s see how much longer you guys are around for.”
Santos represented New York’s 3rd District in the House of Representatives before he was expelled in 2023 after being charged with fraud and campaign finance violations.
In July, Santos agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a federal probe into his suspicious trades on Kalshi. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission also imposed a three-year trading ban on Santos.
The CFTC alleged that between Feb. 12 and Feb. 25, Santos traded on a contract titled “Who will attend the State of the Union?” and on whether he would attend the event.
Santos could influence the outcome of the event and so was prohibited from placing bets related to the State of the Union, according to a notice posted on Kalshi’s website.
However, Santos proceeded to make a series of trades linked to his attendance at the event and to make multiple public statements in an effort to influence the price of the prediction market contract, according to Kalshi.
