Генеральный прокурор штата Нью-Йорк Летития Джеймс объявила, что достигнуто соглашение по делу о мошенничестве с инвесторами, в котором замешан бывший CEO Celsius Алекс Машинский, с условной компенсацией в размере до 35 миллионов долларов и требованием о его постоянном исключении из сферы ценных бумаг, товаров и криптовалют.Ранее Федеральная торговая комиссия США (FTC) и Комиссия по торговле товарными фьючерсами (CFTC) также наложили на Машинского запрет на деятельность в отрасли. Машинский в настоящее время отбывает 12-летний срок заключения. С другой стороны, кредиторы Celsius уже получили более 3,4 миллиарда долларов через процедуру банкротства компании.

Согласно сообщению Cointelegraph, федеральный судья США отклонил большую часть обвинений, выдвинутых управляющим Celsius против компании по анализу блокчейнов Chainalysis, но позволил продолжить одно из них.Федеральный судья Южного округа Нью-Йорка Маргарет Гарнетт в вторник вынес решение, отклонив просьбу Chainalysis об отмене обвинения в подстрекательстве, установив, что исковое заявление достаточно утверждает, что Chainalysis знала о том, что пресс-релиз Celsius, выпущенный в 2020 году, содержит ложные утверждения, и содействовала распространению этих материалов.Суд также отклонил еще 12 обвинений с запретом на повторный иск, запрещая истцу в этом деле вносить изменения; еще 3 обвинения в области защиты прав потребителей были отклонены с возможностью повторного иска, истец должен внести изменения или уведомить суд о том, что больше не будет вносить изменения до 20 октября.Иск был подан Консорциумом по восстановлению инвестиций в блокчейн (BRIC), который выступает в качестве управляющего по делам о банкротстве Celsius и управляющего по взысканию, представляя интересы Celsius и некоторых бывших клиентов. Chainalysis отказалась комментировать ситуацию для Cointelegraph.Суть дела заключается в "аудите" на сумму 3,3 миллиарда долларов. В 2020 году Celsius с помощью программного обеспечения Reactor от Chainalysis рассчитала объем своих управляемых активов и опубликовала результаты как аудит.Согласно исковому заявлению, изложенному судом, один из руководителей Celsius изначально оценил активы с помощью Reactor в 1,18 миллиарда долларов, но после корректировки метода эта цифра возросла до примерно 3,3 миллиарда долларов.

Ликвидатор банкротства криптозаемной платформы Celsius Network подал иск против BitMEX, обвиняя его в мошенничестве и манипуляциях на рынке во время принудительной ликвидации в марте 2020 года в период пандемии COVID-19, требуя вернуть 6,360 BTC, что по текущему курсу составляет около 495 миллионов долларов. Иск был подан 12 сентября в Южный округ Нью-Йорка в суд по делам о банкротстве США, инициирован ликвидатором дела о банкротстве Celsius, Консорциумом по восстановлению инвестиций Blockchain.Ответчиками являются пять организаций: HDR Global Trading, ABS Global Trading, Shine Effort, 100x Holdings и HDR Global Services, зарегистрированные в Бермудских островах, на Каймановых островах, в Великобритании, Гонконге, Сейшельских островах и США. Celsius утверждает, что в ходе ликвидации 12 марта 2020 года он потерял 1,325.84 BTC и требует возмещения долга, переданного инвестиционным фондом JST, который на следующий день потерял 5,034.33 BTC. Позиции обеих сторон могут быть прибыльными только при росте или стабильности биткойна, иск обвиняет BitMEX в одновременном контроле системы, определяющей, когда клиенты подлежат ликвидации, и страхового фонда, получающего прибыль от ликвидации.Это обвинение еще не было подтверждено, и это второй иск против BitMEX с момента объявления о ликвидации в июле; биржа прекратит торговлю 23 сентября.

Машинский был приговорен к 144 месяцам тюремного заключения и штрафу в 48 миллионов долларов за мошенничество с товарами и мошенничество с ценными бумагами в мае 2025 года.В мае он уведомил суд о том, что будет защищаться самостоятельно, поданное им ходатайство касалось обвинений, связанных с FTX и его бывшим коллегой Рони Коэн-Павоном, но прокуроры отметили, что он не представил клятвенное заявление в поддержку обвинений и попросили суд отклонить его без слушания. Коэн-Павон был приговорен к сроку, который уже истек, за "существенное содействие". Кроме того, CFTC в июне навсегда запретила Машинскому заниматься торговлей на товарных рынках, гражданский иск SEC против него все еще продолжается, и стороны находятся на стадии "обсуждения урегулирования".

Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky submitted a motion to a New York court seeking to overturn his 12-year sentence for fraud and market manipulation. The documents show that Mashinsky chose to represent himself (pro se) after his lawyer withdrew, stating that his lawyer "stopped communicating with him," forcing him to submit documents to the court personally. He claims that there was "ineffective legal representation" in his previous defense and invokes the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine to question the legality of some evidence in the case.Mashinsky also accused Sam Bankman-Fried of attempting to "destroy Celsius" in the submitted materials and attributed market manipulation related to the CEL token to FTX. Additionally, he publicly shared text messages with former Celsius Chief Revenue Officer Roni Cohen-Pavon, claiming that the latter had attempted a "hostile takeover" of the company. In 2025, Mashinsky pleaded guilty to commodity fraud and securities fraud and was sentenced to forfeit $48 million, while also required to pay $10 million in settlement to the Federal Trade Commission. Cohen-Pavon, who previously assisted the prosecution as a witness, has been sentenced to "time served" and paid over $1 million in fines.

Cohen-Pavon pleaded guilty in September 2023 to charges of fraud and conspiracy to manipulate the price related to Celsius's CEL token, and is scheduled to be sentenced this Thursday. Cohen-Pavon's lawyer previously requested a sentence of time served, citing his cooperation agreement with the government and his potential role in the guilty plea of former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky.Mashinsky was sentenced to 12 years in prison in May 2025 for commodity and securities fraud and agreed to forfeit over $48 million. In a letter to the judge, Cohen-Pavon stated, "I plead guilty because I am guilty. I participated in the manipulation of the CEL token. I should have stopped it but did not, I could have left but did not. I take full responsibility for this."Additionally, on Thursday, Judge Lewis Kaplan of the same court ordered that $10 million in assets associated with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried be used to fulfill his forfeiture agreement. Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison for defrauding FTX users and investors and is subject to over $11 billion in forfeiture. His appeal to overturn the conviction and sentence is still pending.
