Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town and Sam Marshall, one of two men who claim to lead it, have sued Kalshi in tribal court in an effort to stop the launch of PokkeTrades, a prediction market app the company announced with a rival leader last month.
The complaint, case CV-2026-0173, was filed Oct. 30 in Muscogee (Creek) Nation District Court against Kalshi Inc., Wilson Yargee, Michael Stopp and Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour, Mvskoke Media reported. According to court records obtained by the outlet, the plaintiffs are demanding a jury trial, an attorney lien claim and emergency relief.
The plaintiffs allege that Yargee is not the tribal town’s rightful leader but presented himself as its chief when he did business with Kalshi. They claim he lacked the sovereign authority to approve the venture, and they seek to prevent PokkeTrades from launching, Mvskoke Media reported. The app was set to launch in November 2026, according to the outlet.
