Kim's crypto crisis exposes Kardashian trail of dirty deals!
EMPIRE OF GREED!

A SHAMELESS cash grab by greedy Kim Kardashian is just the latest example of how the famous clan continually scams the public — and may finally bring their sagging empire crashing down, sources exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) slapped the 42-year-old reality mannequin with a whopping $1.26 million fine for promoting a cryptocurrency asset on her Instagram account without disclosing she pocketed a cool $250,000 to do so.

Legal experts say the lack of disclosure is “a very serious issue” that could torpedo Kim’s bid to become a lawyer.

“This is a violation of securities laws, and when aspiring lawyers go before the bar they are judged on their character,” notes criminal defense attorney Duncan Levin.

This is far from the first time members of the Kardashian clan have played fast and loose with the truth to rake in the bucks.

The whole Kardashian empire was launched with deception when a 2002 sex tape featuring Kim and then boyfriend, rapper Ray J, was mysteriously “leaked” to the public by Vivid Entertainment in 2007.

 

Although it made Kim a household name, she initially attempted to sue the company and  reportedly received $1 million for the rights to the tape, titled Kim Kardashian, Superstar.
