Context

Shaquille O'Neal's proposed $1.8m settlement in the FTX investor litigation gives paid celebrity crypto promotion a measurable legal-exposure price. The promoter is not accused of running the exchange; the signal is that reputational reach can carry liability after a consumer-facing financial platform fails. The case belongs in the market/legal risk file around endorsement, consumer trust and bankrupt-platform fallout.
