As Sam Bankman-Fried appeared in court on Tuesday to face criminal charges, Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of the now-bankrupt lending firm Celsius, had his trial date set for September 17, 2024.

Mashinsky faces a multiplicity of criminal fraud charges from various agencies.

A Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) investigation found congruence with an independent examiner’s report released in February, highlighting damning revelations that date back to at least 2020. In the 476-page document, the examiner found that #Celsius insiders knew about illegal activities, and some employees withdrew large chunks of #tokens before the firm’s eventual collapse.
