Kim Kardashian Sued Over Crypto

Back in June ’21, I wrote, “I’ve just become aware of the best example of everything that is bad (and hopefully temporary) about crypto-insanity. If you are wondering about the hype, this article from Coindesk is very instructive.”

I guess some of Kim’s less-than-crypto-savvy followers didn’t pay attention to the very bold first line of her social post: “This is not financial advice but sharing what my friends just told me about the Ethereum Max Token!” They are suing her anyway.

Watch this lawsuit very carefully. This wasn’t the “fine print.” Kardashian began her social post with a disclaimer. As you can see from my original reaction, I had absolutely no kind words for Kim back in June. That aside… are loud, obvious disclaimers a valid legal defense?
