Kim Kardashian settles with SEC over crypto promotion, to pay $1.26 mn

Kim Kardashian has agreed to settle charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and pay USD 1.26 million for promoting a cryptocurrency on social media without disclosing the payment she received for the plug. The SEC said on Monday that the reality TV star and entrepreneur has agreed to cooperate with its ongoing investigation. The SEC said Kardashian failed to disclose that she was paid USD 250,000 to publish a post on her Instagram account about EMAX tokens, a crypto asset security being offered by EthereumMax. Kardashian's post contained a link to the EthereumMax website, which provided instructions for potential investors to purchase EMAX tokens. The federal securities laws are clear that any celebrity or other individual who promotes a crypto asset security must disclose the nature, source, and amount of compensation they received in exchange for the promotion, Gurbir Grewal, director of the SEC's division of enforcement, said in a prepared statement.

Twitter backs spam account methodology in response to SEC letter

U.S. securities regulators are questioning Twitter about how it calculates the number of fake accounts on its platform. The Securities and Exchange Commission in June asked the company about the methodology for calculating the false or spam accounts and "the underlying judgments and assumptions used by management. The agency's Division of Corporation Finance made the request in a June 15 letter, shortly before Tesla CEO Elon Musk raised the issue as grounds to back out of a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Such questions can be routine, and it wasn't clear whether the SEC has opened a formal investigation into Twitter's fake accounts. Messages were left Wednesday seeking comment from the agency and Twitter. The law firm Wilson Sonsini of Palo Alto, California, replied in a June 22 letter saying the company believes it adequately disclosed the methodology in its annual report filed for 2021.
