Kalshi, the self-described “trade on anything” betting website, has accused Artem Kaptur, an editor for James “MrBeast” Donaldson’s YouTube channel, of insider trading and plans to fine him “5 times the initial trade size” of the $4,000 he spent betting on MrBeast-related trades. Kalshi’s blog post states that Kaptur was identified as an insider trader due to his “near-perfect trading success on markets with low odds.”
