Celsius Network Founder Faces Legal Action on Fraud Charges
After being arrested in July, Celsius Network founder Alex Mashinsky is now facing legal action from multiple law enforcement agencies. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Department of Justice, and securities and commodities regulators were involved in his arrest. The charges against Mashinsky include multiple counts of fraud and manipulating the price of the CEL token. However, his defense team claims that these allegations are baseless and has called for the court to dismiss them. They argue that the allegations do not meet the criteria for a claim under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Additionally, Mashinsky’s former Chief Technology Officer, Hanoch “Nuke” Goldstein, is also contesting the charges, stating that the FTC is unfairly holding him accountable by association. The court has been requested to temporarily halt the FTC proceedings to avoid prejudicing the parallel criminal case against Mashinsky.
