According to this accusation, Alex Mashinsky would have used privileged information as CEO and founder of Celsius Network to carry out the withdrawal of 10 million dollars from their accounts just weeks before this cryptocurrency lending company began freezing any withdrawals from their platform.

Celsius Network is a cryptocurrency lending company that in the middle of this year, with the fall of the crypto market, had to officially declare bankruptcy due to the impossibility of respond to the debts that it had acquired with its clients and creditors.

Sources close to Mashinsky assure that this withdrawal of money was planned for a long time to, mainly, face the payment of taxes related to cryptocurrencies. In the event that it is proven that the withdrawal was intentional knowing the imminent bankruptcy of the company, Mashinsky must return the money to meet its return plan.
