SEC charges Kim Kardashian for unlawfully touting crypto security
I hate to admit this, but I was (briefly) involved with the Ethereum Max project.<p>They gave me a sizable sum of cash up front, no contract, to act as a general and technical consultant. This happened less than 48hrs after I met some of the main "team" which consisted of over two dozen crypto bros and various boxing promoters, none of whom understood the most basic concepts of blockchains, transactions, currency, regulation, etc.<p>I was with them when they contacted Kim to shill, and I actually advised them to take a much different approach, but of course, I was ignored, and I promptly left the project about a week later.<p>EMAX is really the epitome of everything wrong in cryptocurrency and I'm glad to see a fraction of justice being served here. Now if only the dozens of other "team" members who were (from my firsthand perspective) equally culpable in defrauding the public could also be held accountable, that would be great.
