LMAO Kalshi just signed a deal with a fake tribal chief ! They tried to sign with a Native American tribe to launch a Kalshi partnered prediction market. Except the chief they signed with was an IMPOSTOR. Kalshi has been trying to court the support of Native tribes with the following deal : - The tribes launch their own branded prediction market apps. - Kalshi provides the exchange, liquidity and infrastructure. - Tribes receive a percentage of trading fees. They already signed 5 tribes and thought they had just signed a 6th when they struck a deal with Wilson Yargee, the chief of the Alabama-Quassarte tribe. But the next day, Samuel Marshall, claiming to be the actual Chief denounced the deal saying : - His leadership NEVER approved the deal. - He only discovered it through a CNN report. - The opposing faction had no authority to sign on behalf of the tribe. Turns out the Alabama-Quassarte tribe has 2 rival chiefs fighting for power. Samuel Marshall Jr. (real) and Wilson Yargee (impostor), each with their own supporting factions. Now this dispute turns into a legal conflict : > The legitimist faction behind Samuel Marshall say the deal is void since Yargee is not the real chief. > The impostor faction, supported by Kashi, insists the deal is legitimate and that Yargee is the real chief. Kalshi tried cynically buy the support of Native Americans tribes in their upcoming supreme court battle for the legality of prediction markets. Now they are looking forward to a long legal process trying to adjudicate a Triblal succession dispute.
