Alexander Machinsky, founder and former chief executive of the failed cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius Network, leaves Manhattan federal court Thursday, July 13, 2023, in New York on $40 million bail after pleading not guilty to charges alleging that he schemed to defraud customers by misleading them about key aspects of the business.
Another Mashinsky attorney, Jonathan Ohring, said in an email that his client “vehemently denies the allegations brought today.” The indictment alleged that Mashinsky promoted Celsius through media interviews, his Twitter account and Celsius's website, along with a weekly “Ask Mashinsky Anything” session broadcast posted to Celsius's website and a YouTube channel.
By the fall of 2021, Celsius had become one of the largest crypto platforms in the world, purportedly holding approximately $25 billion in assets, it said.
