Kim Kardashian and Floyd Mayweather are Likely to Win Crypto Ethereum Max Lawsuit.

A tentative court ruling found Kim Kardashian and Floyd Mayweather Jr to be innocent of scamming EthereumMax investors.The tentative ruling reveals how the judge is likely to rule before the case is heard.

The Accuse

Bloomberg reports that US District Judge Michael Fitzgerald on Monday issued a tentative decision alleging that attorneys for the disgruntled investors were attempting to mimic the SEC.

Kardashian was accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of failing to disclose that she had been paid $250,000 to promote tokens on Instagram a month before the tentative ruling was issued.

It was alleged that the celebrity touted EMAX tokens in violation of the US rules, for which she paid $1.26 million.

As Fitzgerald reportedly stated, celebrities did not” care to label the tokens”  as securities.

Charles Randell, chair of the UK Financial Conduct Authority, referred to Kim’s post as the biggest financial promotion of all time.
