Kim Kardashian charged by SEC, agrees to pay $1.3 million fine
New YorkCNN Business —
Kim Kardashian agreed to pay a $1.26 million fine to the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle civil charges after the reality TV star touted a crypto asset, EthereumMax, on Instagram.
The SEC charged Kardashian with failure to disclose that she was paid $250,000 to publish her Instagram post. In addition to paying the fine, she agreed to cooperate with the SEC’s ongoing investigation.
“This case is a reminder that, when celebrities or influencers endorse investment opportunities, including crypto asset securities, it doesn’t mean that those investment products are right for all investors,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “We encourage investors to consider an investment’s potential risks and opportunities in light of their own financial goals.”
Kardashian also agreed to not promote any crypto securities for three years.
“Ms. Kardashian is pleased to have resolved this matter with the SEC,” said a statement from her attorneys. “Kardashian fully cooperated with the SEC from the very beginning, and she remains willing to do whatever she can to assist the SEC in this matter. She wanted to get this matter behind her to avoid a protracted dispute. The agreement she reached with the SEC allows her to do that so that she can move forward with her many different business pursuits.”
The SEC found that Kardashian violated the anti-touting provision of federal securities laws. Kardashian agreed to the order without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings.
The settlement includes a $1 million fine and forfeiting the $250,000 payment she received, plus interest.
Gensler tweeted that “any celebrity or influencer’s incentives aren’t necessarily aligned with yours.” He said the investing public shouldn’t confuse the skills of celebrities “with the very different skills needed to offer appropriate investment advice.”
The SEC may have targeted Kardashian as a way to send a message to other influencers who might be promoting crypto currencies or other investment assets, said Charles Whitehead, professor at Cornell Law School. He called it a “shot across the bow” for celebrity crypto endorsers.
“It’s a way to signal to other influencers: if you’re thinking about dealing with crypto, think twice,” said Whitehead. “The SEC is also using her as an influencer – but to boost compliance with securities laws. [It’s a] smart way to bring attention to the matter so others won’t do it.”
Kardashian isn’t the first celebrity to pay an SEC fine for using their influence to push crypto currencies. In 2018 boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and music producer DJ Khaled each paid fine for pushing cryptos. Mayweather, who had been compensated $300,000, paid a bit more than $600,000 in penalties, while Khaled, who had been paid $50,000, was hit with penalties topping $150,000. In addition, actor Steven Segal paid more than $300,000 in penalties for doing the same thing in 2020.
In a June 13, 2021, Instagram post Kardashian wrote, “Are you guys into crypto? This is not financial advice but sharing what my friends told me about the Ethereum max token!” She added different hashtags, including #ad, along with #emax and #disrupthistory, among others.
The SEC said she had 225 million Instagram followers at the time of the post.
The #ad is not sufficient to comply with SEC laws in regard to touting investments, Gensler said in an interview on CNBC Monday.
“If you’re advertising perfume, or you’re advertising vacation homes or anything else on the internet, there are various laws related to that. But these are the securities laws,” he said.
Kardashian’s net worth is estimated at $1.8 billion according to Forbes. So, a $1.26 million fine is the equivalent of a fine of less than $100 for a typical US family, which has a net worth of about $122,000 according to the most recent estimates by the Federal Reserve.
Could Wall Street’s love affair with Elon Musk be over?
Six months ago Tesla (TSLA) shares were flying high. The company wasvalued at $1.1 trillion — more than a dozen other top automakers combined — and announcing plans for a proposed stock split.
Then Musk disclosed he had become the largest investor in Twitter (TWTR), followed shortly by an announcement of his plans to buy control of the social media company.
Things haven’t been the same for Tesla shares since.
And although Musk’s efforts to buy — then avoid buying — Twitter, have raised investor concerns about a loss of focus by the EV-maker’s all-important CEO, it’s not the only problem for Tesla.
On Friday, shares were down 27% from April 1, the day before Musk’s investment in Twitter was disclosed. And they were down another 8% in midday trading Monday following the sales report.
Critics of Tesla have long argued the stock’s incredible runup — shares rose nearly 1,900% from when the company finally achieved profitability in the fall of 2018 to its peak price in early April — was never justified. And they say the current problems are a sign of future setbacks to come with the stock.
“In general, very bad things happen when production slows, prices drop and the market is crediting you with a forward price to earnings multiple of 45.3 times earnings estimates,” said analyst Gordon Johnson, one of the biggest Tesla bears on Wall Street.
But Tesla fans on Wall Street predict that the company is still well positioned as demand grows for electric vehicles.
“In a nutshell, this quarter was nothing to write home about and the Street will be disappointed by the softer delivery number in the third quarter” said Daniel Ives, tech analyst with Wedbush Securities. “That said, we view this more of a logistical speed bump rather than the start of a softer delivery trajectory.”
Tesla spent last Friday showing off its latest robots, and in a series of tweets over the weekend, Musk was again promising that its robot business would transform the company’s sales and profitability. Ives said the timing of the company’s AI day was bad for the stock’s valuation.
“Even though it’s visionary, I think it’s not reading the room. There’s a view he’s not focused on what needs to be done right now,” said Ives. “It’s not a great look for Wall Street when you do an AI Day on Friday and have a delivery miss on Sunday.”
But this is not the first time that Musk’s comments have caused problems for the stock’s value over the last six months.
Two new plants Tesla opened in Texas and Germany were described by Musk as “gigantic money furnaces,” burning through billions in cash as they struggled to ramp up production. He even mentioned the risk of bankruptcy in one interview.
As if all of that hasn’t been enough of a headwind for Tesla shares, Musk came out and said in June he had a “super bad feeling” about the economy and announced plans to trim salaried staff.
Apple (AAPL) shares fell 21% over the second and third quarters, while shares of Google (GOOG) parent Alphabet tumbled 31%, and Facebook parent Meta (FB) plunged 39%. Amazon (AMZN) shares lost 31%.
That market environment makes it all the more critical that Tesla improve its execution as a way to assure investors its stock value isn’t all smoke and mirrors.
“You need to execute to keep faith among growth investors,” Ives said. “The last two quarters, they haven’t lived up to that standard.”
