 Man brutalises his pregnant wife in Anambra  In another case of domestic violence, a pregnant woman was brutally beaten by her husband in Ichi, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State. The mother of three identified as Chinelo Francis, from Ebonyi State, said trouble began when she requested money from her husband, Peter, to prepare food.  According to the young woman, she had already bought vegetable with the profit she made from her shop. Peter, also from Ebonyi, claimed he didn’t make money that day and took the children home.  He returned to her shop at around 8:00 PM and insisted she close up and come home with him.  She refused, explaining that the time was when she typically made most of her sales.  Later, she closed up her shop, went home at 9:30 PM, prepared the children for bed, and retired.

 Kalshi files insider trading complaint involving editor linked to MrBeast 

An editor for YouTube star MrBeast has been suspended from the prediction market platform Kalshi and referred to federal regulators over insider trading, Kalshi officials said Wednesday. This marks the first time the company has publicly disclosed the results of an internal investigation into market manipulation.

The employee, whose name was not released, reportedly traded around $4,000 on markets tied to MrBeast. Investigators flagged the activity after noticing the trader had “near-perfect success” on bets with low odds connected to the YouTuber’s videos, raising suspicions of misuse of confidential information. Kalshi said such conduct violates its rules and could break federal law.

Kalshi froze the editor’s account to prevent withdrawals, imposed a $20,000 fine, and suspended the user for two years. The case has also been reported to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which oversees prediction markets. Kalshi’s enforcement chief, Robert DeNault, said the trader likely had access to non-public information through their role as an editor for MrBeast’s content.

In a separate case, Kalshi also penalized former California gubernatorial candidate Kyle Langford, who posted on X in May that he bet on himself and encouraged others to do so. The platform banned Langford for five years and fined him $1,000, warning that candidates should not trade on markets involving their own races.

Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket have grown rapidly in recent years, allowing users to place wagers on events ranging from election outcomes to celebrity actions. These platforms are regulated as “futures contracts” by the CFTC, rather than falling under state gambling laws, a setup that has facilitated rapid industry growth.

The rise of these markets has raised concerns about insider trading. In January, a Polymarket trader profited $400,000 by betting on the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro before the news was public, and Israeli authorities recently arrested people for using classified information to bet on potential military operations in Iran. Kalshi says it has opened more than 200 insider trading investigations in the past year, 12 of which are still active.

Kalshi said fines collected from these cases will go to a nonprofit focused on consumer education about derivatives markets. “No system is perfect. No financial exchange is immune from bad actors,” DeNault said. “We’re committed to deterring and finding the bad actors, manipulators, and those who willingly cheat.”
