Kim Kardashian slapped with a $1.3M fine

Kim Kardashian is obliged to pay a sum of 1.26 million dollars to the Securities and Exchange Commission, a U.S. federal agency aimed at regulating and monitoring financial markets.

Kardashian allegedly forgot to mention to her subscribers that she was paid $250,000 to promote EMAX tokens, a crypto company, reports TMZ.

Here’s what SEC Chairman Gary Glenser had to say about Kim’s oversight:

“Ms. Kardashian’s case also serves as a reminder to celebrities and others that they are required by law to disclose to the public when and how much they are being paid to promote investment in securities (…) Investors have a right to know whether the advertising of a security is unbiased, and Ms. Kardashian failed to disclose that information.”

An oversight that would be expensive for mere mortals, but we’re guessing not so much for Kim.

Fast forward to September 2021, Fifty-owned Sire Spirits has filed a lawsuit against Mitchell Green, the former brand manager, over the $2.2 million he received in under-the-table kickbacks from 2018 to 2020.

A year later, in October 2022, the court found Green guilty of liability to Sire Spirits for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and unjust enrichment.

This meant that50 Cent was to receive $6,194,293 from Green, but Green has yet to pay a dime… to 50 Cent.

That said, on March 14, Green filed for bankruptcy protection, but 50 Cent is determined to get his cash back through the man’s estate.

The 47-year-old New York rapper donned his old 50 Cent jersey, the one that wasn’t afraid of words to deliver some messages.

Diver jumps 170 feet… into freezing water

David Vencl, a 40-year-old Czech free diver, broke the world record with a 170-foot deep dive in a frozen lake. Of course, his name appears in the Guinness bible for this feat.

This feat was achieved in a single breath in the depths of the lake of Sils, Switzerland, without any diving suit. After 1 minute and 54 seconds, he came out of the hole, spat blood and opened a bottle of champagne.

Vencl’s promoter, Pavel Kalous, said the swim took a little longer.

The frigid water was between 33.8 and 39.2 degrees and the air temperature was around 40 degrees.

Because of the cold water, lack of oxygen and the pressure issue, a very UNIQUE cocktail, Vencl went to the hospital to make sure nothing too serious had resulted from the adventure.
