Why Kim Kardashian's SEC settlement should serve as warning on how cryptocurrency is promoted

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian agreed to pay US$1.26 million to settle Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charges against her over her promotion of a cryptocurrency, offered by EthereumMax, on Instagram without disclosing she'd been paid $250,000 to do so.
