Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina granted a preliminary injunction against Kalshi on Tuesday, ordering the platform to stop offering sports wagers in Michigan. ^[1] Judge Rosemarie Aquilina ordered Kalshi to pay a fine of $500,000 for every day it fails to run geolocation through a provider licensed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board. ^[2] Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel posted to social media calling for the abolition of the MEDC after the Hammoud story broke. ^[3] The American Arab Chamber reported that it fired Executive Director Bilal Hammoud amid allegations that more than $1 million of a $3.4 million grant administered by the Michigan Economic Development Corp. went missing. ^[4] The injunction requires Kalshi to use a third-party geolocation provider licensed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board capable of meeting the board's geofencing specifications. ^[5] The order notes that Michigan requires bettors to be 21 years old, while Kalshi takes them at 18. ^[6] Bilal Hammoud is considered an ally of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, who appointed him to the state's Workforce Development Board two years ago. ^[7] The Michigan Attorney General's Office is coordinating with the FBI to investigate the matter, while the American Arab Chamber is conducting its own independent investigation. ^[8]
