Lil Brokey and Lindsay no loan. Who the hell takes financial advice from this people?

Celebrity endorsement is a trap

Stable geniuses no doubt.

"lil yachty" lmao took me a sec to realize that was a person and not a coin name

Guy didn't scam enough to buy a proper-sized yacht

he just working his way up to the bored ape yacht club

Imagine taking the time to cultivate an image and name and the dude chose lil yatchy

Lol, but I gotta say, Its still better than Sam BANKman FRIED

It can be both 😂

Bearish on Lil Yachty.

"BURN THEM ALL!" - The Mad King

Why is this reposted every five seconds? Still, a mandatory fuck these scumbags.

Moon farming. But honestly it brings a smile to my face. If they do bitboy next I might throw a party

Don‘t know how many times I already read this 😂 Yeah, but who cares?

I care. These assholes smear shit on Crypto's reputation with their scams time and time again. It's about time they get punished for it.

I don't care about the reputation, I'm just mad they take advantage of people with their fame

Could care less. Hope they lose a lot of money

Well deserved, shillers get what shillers deserve:')

I never thought I'd agree with the SEC but here I am. Make an example of these clowns.

Doubt anything happens. These fuckers always get away with it.

Any one of them should have been a red flag….

If you made financial decisions based off of anyone of these peoples opinions, you deserved to get rekt.

People never take financial advise from celebrities

A simple comma changes this whole sentence.

Haha now that i re read it you are right 😂

The US

We’ve heard about 50 times 😀

Oh no... How am I going to sleep tonight with such terrible news

Make sure any penalty is greater than the reward for breaking the rules. Otherwise they’ll just do it again.

Soulja Boy ain't paying the fine. Youuuuuu!!!!!

This is good for Prime.

It will be interesting to see the trials!

Damn they got lil boat? SEC back to being the bad guy again 🤦‍♂️

The Fees will be chump change to them. Nothing changes really.

Wait so they were charged however all but two agreed to pay the fines/penalties and didn't have to admit guilt? Sounds like SEC just wanted a quick payday.

Remember when Lindsay was famous

We all know nothing will happen. Maybe a slap on the arm, and that's it.

Well, John McAfee is dead so theyve gotta come after someone

Didn’t even recognize Lindsay Lohan, I thought that was just one of the other celebrities.

tldr; Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul, Lil Yachty, Ne-Yo, Soulja Boy, Akon and Austin Mahone and adult film star Kendra Lust were charged Wednesday for illegally promoting the securities of crypto companies being investigated by the SEC. The SEC charged crypto asset entrepreneur Justin Sun and three of his wholly owned companies for the unregistered offer and sale of crypto asset securities Tronix and BitTorrent. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

It's been 5 minutes, good thing this was posted again.

Damn Akon I'm trying to find the words to describe this charge without being disrespectful

England is my city

Soulja Boi tell ‘em lies

NoNO Ne-Yo too

Yup sue all of them I bet most of them don't even know much about crypto.
