And while that is winding through the legal system, courts have decided that Kalshi/Polymarket can continue to operate. That might change in the future, but it is the present reality.
As long as the business is legal to operate, there is no justification for criminally prosecuting the people engaged in that business.

It's a criminal case, don't they have a presumption of legality then?

Presumption of legality pending trial is rather different from "quite obviously legal[emphasis in original]" or "definitionally legal".
"until they work their way through the courts, it's "legal"" is a much better phrasing and if the comment had stuck to that it probably wouldn't be downvoted.
"As long as the business is legal to operate, there is no justification for criminally prosecuting the people engaged in that business."
You are begging the question: assuming that the business is legal to operate in the state of Utah. You keep presenting Kalshi's arguments as though they enjoy some presumption of legality prior to a ruling.
