Summary
Kim Kardashian’s in trouble with Uncle Sam! Last year, Kim endorsed crypto asset security EthereumMax on her Insta, pushing the risky token to her hundreds of millions of followers. Since then, EMAX has plummeted, and the SEC brought charges against Kim for failing to tell her followers that she was paid a cool quarter million bucks to promote the crashed crypto. As a way to settle the charges with the Feds, Kim has agreed to fork over $1.26 million in penalties. But for billionaire Kimmy, a million plus is really just chump change, and it looks like this won’t make a dent in her powerful star status or affect her career. So is Teflon Kim just too big to ever be taken down by any controversy?
