Kardashian crypto hype lawsuit advances over her alleged lies


US District Judge Michael Fitzgerald in Los Angeles on Tuesday rejected arguments by Kardashian’s lawyers that he should dismiss false advertising claims over her social media posts in which she said EMAX tokens would be accepted at certain night clubs as payment for table reservations. — AFP

Kim Kardashian failed to persuade a judge to throw out a lawsuit in which she’s accused of scamming investors in a cryptocurrency called EthereumMax by falsely hyping the digital tokens.

Floyd Mayweather Jr fared better, with the judge finding that his public statements about the growth prospects for the EMAX token were mostly harmless.
