The lawsuits have started again; these states really don't understand what innovation means.

Finally, someone dares to confront these states. It was long overdue to fight back.

Here we go again, the old routine of state-level regulation vs. exchanges. Based on data performance, the success rate of such lawsuits isn't actually very high; the historical records are right there.

Here we go again, the state government wants to block the way. Should have known it would turn out like this --- Prediction markets are indeed a gray area, and exchanges are forced to confront it helplessly --- Damn, three states teaming up? This is getting complicated --- Regulatory authority is always a tangled issue. Who actually has the final say? --- The federal government should step in and regulate. If local governments keep messing around, who will dare to do business? --- Prediction markets are fundamentally fine; it's just these politicians looking for trouble --- It's the same old approach—ban first, regulate later. Really annoying --- Can lawsuits win? I doubt it. US law has never been friendly to exchanges --- Feels like exchanges are just wasting lawyers' fees; they can't really change anything --- Does Michigan want to monopolize? That's just too outrageous
