Kim Kardashian Sued for Shilling Sh*tcoin EthereumMaxKim Kardashian, reality TV star and Floyd Mayweather Jr., boxing champion are the co-defendants of a Los Angeles federal court filed class action complaint. The case – Huegerich v. Gentile, 22-cv-00163, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles) – alleges that the pair duped investors by promoting a dodgy cryptocurrency called EthereumMax (EMAX).
This message was specifically sent by Kardashian to her more than 230 million Instagram followers.
“Are you guys into crypto??? This is not financial advice but sharing what my friends told me about the ethereum max token!” the post read. She again added different hashtags, including #ad, which is required to reveal that her post is paid for, along with #emax and #disrupthistory.”
EMAX’s performance has been spectacular since June 2021. According to CoinMarketCap data, EMAX – which is not connected in any way with Ethererum – originally launched with two quadrillion tokens and is currently ranked 4,519 out of all cryptocurrencies. Its price per token at the time of writing is $0.00000002213 — and prices have fallen by 97% since it’s all-time high of $0.00000092 at the end of May 2020. The claimants say Kardashian forced them to purchase at high prices before the sudden drop.
Kardashian clearly stated in the post that it was not financial advice, and it had no direct call to action other than “Swipe Up.” She also informed her Instagram feed that the EMAX message was a paid advertisement using the notation – #Ad.
Regardless, those precautionary steps didn’t protect her from being named in the lawsuit, which describes EMAX as a “speculative digital token created by a mysterious group of cryptocurrency developers” – those developers are named in the complaint as well.
The court filing cites violations of California consumer-protection laws and seeks restitution for “the difference between the purchase price of the EMAX Tokens and the price those EMAX Tokens sold for,” there have been no public statements about the litigation from either Kardashian or Mayweather.
