Weird Nintendo never went away

Nintendo has been playing it safe of late, whether it's the conservative nature of its Switch successor or the squeaky-clean image presented in its museum.

Oh, you think the government will regulate Kalshi and Polymarket? Wanna bet?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has a problem: It's not very good at policing insider trading. And insider trading has become a pressing concern for prediction markets. Even Kalshi's recently publicized fines for insider trading - levied against a politician and an employee of YouTube influencer MrBeast - were effectively self-policing.
