Former Celsius CEO gives up bankruptcy asset claims, has been sentenced to 12 years.
According to a Deep Tide TechFlow report on June 17, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York ruled on Monday that former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky and his affiliated entities have agreed to waive all claims against the assets of Celsius's bankruptcy liquidation. The court retains exclusive jurisdiction over the case but will not supersede ongoing criminal proceedings.
In May of this year, Mashinsky was sentenced to 12 years in prison for fraud, despite his defense team requesting a lighter sentence based on his military service and guilty plea. The U.S. Department of Justice had previously sought a 20-year sentence for him.
