New on my newsletter: The NFL told a House committee that “sports-related events contracts should not be approved by the CFTC” in written testimony. Easily the most aggressive stance we have seen from a major sports league.
The Second Circuit recently issued a unanimous ruling in a different sports corruption case--United States v. Lopez--that would likely expand the reach of the honest services wire fraud statute. The Lopez case is currently at SCOTUS cert-stage with BIO likely filed next month.
Of the four counts in today's indictment, the second count--honest services wire fraud conspiracy (18 USC § 1346)--will be the most revealing to monitor as the case works its way through the court system in the coming months/years.
Here is a direct link to today's Department of Justice press release (which includes the 23-page indictment) -- justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/two…
For a deep-dive into the Sports Bribery Act of 1964 (18 USC § 224), here is a link to our published academic article from ten years ago -- papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Three cert-stage amicus briefs have been filed in the pending SCOTUS case involving the baseball-only antitrust exemption. Authors include: (i) a bipartison duo of US Senators; (ii) MLBPA; and (iii) a group of professors. Docket here -- supremecourt.gov/search.aspx…

As a close observer during the entire pendency of the 2018 SCOTUS sports betting case involving New Jersey, @SportsLawProf decided to re-visit Murphy v. NCAA and see what, if anything, was discussed during the case about prediction markets, event contracts, derivatives, or swaps involving sports.
He found nothing.

The pace of news on the prediction markets/sports betting front has been frenetic.
But do not overlook this case (Massachusetts v Kalshi) and this order.
Judge writes re: complete preemption that it applies only where defendant can show clear Congressional intent to replace state regulation... and "The court discerns no such clear intent in the CEA or its legislative history."
