“I have no knowledge about this particular case”

Respectfully, I think you should have stopped there, or perhaps earlier. There is quite a body of evidence already provided in this thread suggesting that Kalshi is an anticompetitive regulatory-capture play.

The GP comment was specifically a smear about YC, which is something I do have knowledge about. I don't for a moment believe that YC would invest in "buying out regulators and making competition illegal". That would go against everything I have ever heard, in public or in private, and everything I understand YC to be about.

Just because we moderate HN less when YC or a YC-funded startup is part of a story does not mean I won't respond like a normal human being.

perhaps you could post said evidence?
I added an edit, indicating that this thread already has quite a bit of it.
