About this source
Official announcement of Connecticut's lawsuit against Kalshi. Tong's statement sets out the state's allegations and rationale for suing; it is not a judicial finding.
Before the quotation
Tong identifies protections for minors, people at risk of problem gambling, customer funds and personal information; those safeguards are the referent of the excerpt.
After the quotation
His statement appears in the announcement of Connecticut's lawsuit. It records his allegations and enforcement rationale, not a finding that Kalshi committed the alleged violations.
How this statement is classified
Tong denounces alleged failures to protect consumers and says the state is suing to stop them. This expresses substantive criticism, not only a dispute over how sports contracts are characterized.
