Kim Kardashian and Floyd Mayweather sued over alleged crypto scam

 

A class action lawsuit has named Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather and basketball star Paul Pierce as defendants for promoting a cryptocurrency called EthereumMax. According to Finbold, the platintiffs sued the celebrities and the still-unidentified entities behind the tokens for causing the value of the Ethereum knockoff to soar so "they could sell their portion of the Float for a profit." The lawsuit lists anybody who invested in the token between May 14th and June 27th, 2021 as a defendant.

 

As Gizmodo explains, the claimants are accusing the defendants of perpetrating a "pump and dump" scheme, in which investors sell off their shares to make a lot of money after orchestrating a rise in its value. The lawsuit states that the coin rose 632 percent in value after Mayweather and Pierce promoted it — the boxing star wore shorts with the EthereumMax URL during his exhibition match with Logan Paul, while Pierce tweeted about it.

 

Meanwhile, Kardashian posted about EthereumMax on Instagram Stories, telling followers that she heard about it from her friends and linking to its website. According to Morning Consult, 19 percent of the survey respondents who said they heard about Kardiashian's post invested in EthereumMax as a result. The lawsuit states that the day after Kardashian's post, the token's value plummeted by 98 percent. Further, the coin's creators allegedly sold off their shares before the price drop, as shown by their wallet's activities.

 

Celebrities have been promoting cryptocurrency tokens for a while now and even creating their own. This isn't the first time or the last that they'll get caught up in controversies surrounding a token — Mayweather, for instance, was charged by the Securities and Exchange Comission in 2018 for failing to disclose that he was paid $100,000 to promote Centra Tech's 2017 initial coin offering. Two of Centra Tech's founders were arrested for securities fraud and wire fraud, with the SEC accusing them of "touting nonexistent relationships between Centra and well-known financial institutions" in an effort to entice people to invest in the ICO.

Trump had Covid. He says he's shot and boosted. Is that due to Age, Immune compromised, or comms?

 

Trump says he doesn't understand why people who have had COVID-19 would get vaccinated unless they're old or immunocompromised

 

Former President Donald Trump, who is triple-vaccinated, said in a new interview that he didn't understand why people who had caught COVID-19 would ever get vaccinated unless they're old or immunocompromised.

 

During an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep published Wednesday, Trump responded to a question about the millions of Americans who hadn't been fully vaccinated by predicting the pandemic "is going to phase out."

 

"You know, there are many people that have had it, if you look at the numbers," Trump answered, referring to coronavirus infections.

 

"I don't know why they would be getting the vaccine for the most part, unless they were at a certain age group and they had certain problems, whether it's the high blood pressure, diabetes, and, you know, various things in particular."

 

While studies have indicated that past infection can offer long-term protection against the coronavirus, people can still get COVID-19 more than once, and researchers recommend a full vaccine course, including a booster, to lower the risk of reinfection.

 

Trump has in recent weeks heavily endorsed COVID-19 vaccinations, and he told NPR he felt "very comfortable" being vaccinated. Many of his supporters remain anti-vaccination, however, and in a live interview last month he told his supporters not to boo when he announced he had received a booster shot.

 

He also told NPR he didn't believe in vaccine mandates, saying they're "bad for the economy." Last year, President Joe Biden announced COVID-19 vaccine mandates for private companies and health workers, but they have been ensnared in a series of court cases that have since reached the Supreme Court.

 

The NPR interview, which was meant to last 15 minutes, was cut short after Trump hung up the phone while being challenged over his false election-fraud claims.

 

The former president has previously discussed who he thinks should take the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

In an interview with the One America News Network, which aired Tuesday, Trump said he didn't think "young, healthy" people should take the vaccine.

 

"I don't think that certainly, these young kids should take it," he said, according to a clip of the interview published by Mediaite, adding, "Their immune systems are so strong."

 

As of Tuesday, just over 60% of the US population was considered fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
