华盛顿8月31日路透电 —— 预测市场平台卡利什（Kalshi）周一表示，已对前国会议员乔治·桑托斯处以超过7.1万美元的罚款，并永久封禁其账号，原因是他曾下注赌自己会出席美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的国情咨文演讲。
2023年被众议院驱逐的桑托斯，上月还因该事件中的涉嫌市场操纵行为，被美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）罚款。

据卡利什和商品期货交易委员会消息，桑托斯曾在社交媒体上发布虚假陈述以利于自己的下注，随后并未出席该演讲，这为他带来了近1.8万美元的收益。
桑托斯的律师乔·默里周一未立即回应置评请求，但他在7月曾表示，桑托斯否认商品期货交易委员会的指控，仅为避免旷日持久的诉讼才达成和解，并称桑托斯从未意图欺骗任何人或操纵任何市场。
卡利什的这项决定，是在上周五商品期货交易委员会宣布对前白宫提词器操作员加布里埃尔·佩雷斯处以17.2万美元罚款之后作出的。佩雷斯被指控利用卡利什平台，凭借提前获知的唐纳德·特朗普总统演讲信息进行交易。

专家和向路透社提供的数据显示，选举下注热潮或将考验卡利什这类预测市场监管内幕交易的能力。卡利什及其竞争对手波利市场（Polymarket）均表示，他们有能力识别并阻止可疑交易，维护市场诚信。
特朗普去年曾将桑托斯的七年欺诈和身份盗窃罪刑期减刑，桑托斯此前已认罪，承认在2022年选举周期中为获取共和党财政支持，虚报筹款数额并伪造捐赠者姓名。

WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) – Prediction market company Kalshi said on Monday that it had imposed a penalty of more than $71,000 on former Congressman George Santos and permanently banned him from its platform for betting on his own attendance at U.S. President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
Santos, who was expelled from the House of Representatives in 2023, was also fined by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission a month ago for alleged market manipulation over the incident.

According to Kalshi and the CFTC, Santos made false statements on social media that benefited his wagers and then did not attend the address, earning him nearly $18,000.
Joe Murray, a lawyer for Santos, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday, but said in July that Santos denied the CFTC’s allegations and settled them only to avoid drawn-out litigation, asserting that Santos never intended to deceive anyone or manipulate any market.
Kalshi’s decision follows Friday’s announcement that the CFTC was imposing $172,000 penalty on former White House teleprompter operator Gabriel Perez, who was accused of using Kalshi to trade on advance knowledge of President Donald Trump’s speeches.

The boom in election betting is likely to test the ability of prediction markets such as Kalshi to police insider trading, according to experts and data shared with Reuters. Kalshi and rival Polymarket have said that they are equipped to identify and block suspicious activity and protect the market integrity.
Trump commuted Santos’ seven-year prison sentence for fraud and identity theft last year following his guilty plea for inflating fundraising figures and falsifying donor names to secure Republican Party financial support during the 2022 election cycle.
