Tom Brady, other sports figures caught in the crypto scandal

[todeen]

I read many articles on NYT about FTX, and I also slept at a Holiday Inn once. From my knowledge gained at two accounting classes at the local community college, I saw many red flags in what I read. I think the real question is: will the Bahamas extradite?

Also, that dude Zhao, what a power play he made to take down FTX. I don't know why SBF would throw rocks when he is living in a glass house. Zhao right now looks like the little pig who built a house out of bricks. And according to SBF, the Feds are the big bad wolf.

The list of people involved as spokes people, especially the sports figures would have made for a neat card set.

Good day recently Kim K was fined 1.2 million

According to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Kardashian promoted EMAX cryptocurrency tokens on her Instagram Story but did not make it clear that she had been paid $250,000 by the cryptocurrency brand, EthereumMax. By doing so, she broke a part of the Securities Act that makes it unlawful for people to promote securities without fully disclosing any payment they had received to do so, the SEC said.


I'm not sure an "ad" needs a disclosure, but many do have disclaimers they are indeed "paid actors"

Just playing devil advocate! Seems most of this money, and Brinkman-Frieds mom was recently used for certain campaigns.

Campaigns??? Certainly not a trusted, honest, noncorrupt and aboveboard Federal campaign, is it Ted?

She deserved what she gets. The celebrity endorsements on the other hand will pay for their lawyers but they cannot be held liable for the companies unless they were part of the ownership/management group and then it is still a maybe

Well they could be liable as individuals for their own wrongful conduct, but fraud requires proof of intent to deceive and it seems to me very unlikely a plaintiff could prove that.
