Breaking news 📢📢
Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of Celsius, has agreed to relinquish all claims to the assets of the bankrupt crypto lender, facilitating further distributions to creditors. This agreement, submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, bars Mashinsky and three associated entities from receiving any bankruptcy proceeds. All claims made by Mashinsky will be withdrawn and will not receive any distribution under the Chapter 11 plan. Consequently, he and his related entities will be permanently excluded from any recovery in the Celsius bankruptcy, allowing the reserved assets to be redistributed to other creditors. The court will maintain oversight of the distribution process while Mashinsky serves a 12-year prison sentence for defrauding customers and manipulating the CEL token's price. Celsius filed for Chapter 11 in July 2022 due to a liquidity crisis and has since transitioned to a recovery-focused entity, distributing over $2.5 billion to around 251,000 creditors by August 2024.#cryptowatchJune2024 #crime #BTC #Celsius #worldnews
