🚨 Celsius Founder Alex Mashinsky Fights Proposed 20-Year Prison Sentence ⚖️🔥

According to ShibDaily, former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky is challenging a 20-year sentence recommended by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for allegedly misleading users and manipulating CEL tokens.

Mashinsky’s legal team is pushing for a lighter sentence of just 366 days, arguing he's a nonviolent, first-time offender with a 30-year clean business record.

Key Points: 🔹 DOJ says Mashinsky earned $48M by dumping CEL tokens before the collapse.

🔹 Victims say they lost life savings, trusting Celsius’s promises.

🔹 Celsius filed for bankruptcy in July 2022, owing $4.7B to creditors.

🔹 Over $2.5B has since been returned to 251K customers.

Mashinsky’s team calls the 20-year proposal a "death-in-prison sentence" and claims he's being unfairly blamed for Celsius’s downfall. Meanwhile, the DOJ argues he committed intentional fraud and theft.
