Juiz marca data para julgamento do ex-CEO da Celsius
- Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky will face trial for allegedly defrauding the company’s investors.
- Mashinsky garantiu uma fiança de $40 milhões, mas enfrenta restrições financeiras e de viagens.
- O julgamento do ex-CEO da FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, começou na terça-feira com a seleção do júri em um tribunal de Manhattan.
Com o início do julgamento criminal do fundador da FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, um tribunal de Nova York anunciou a data para outro caso de alto perfil envolvendo um executivo de criptografia. O juiz John Koeltl anunciou em uma audiência no Tribunal Distrital dos Estados Unidos para o Distrito Sul de Nova York na terça-feira que o julgamento criminal do ex-CEO da Celsius Network, Alex Mashinsky, começará em 17 de setembro de 2024.
o anúncio observou que três conferências pré-julgamento ocorrerão em março, julho e setembro. Mashinsky permanecerá livre de uma fiança de $40 milhões durante o processo judicial. Isto apesar de restrições muito significativas à sua capacidade de viajar e de algumas transações financeiras.
Mashinsky was arrested in July for allegedly defrauding investors of billions of dollars, and Tuesday’s news marked one of the new developments in his case. In their Tuesday testimony before the judge, Mashinsky’s defense attorneys noted that one of their arguments would be that cryptocurrencies are not securities, a point of legal debate in the United States.
Mashinsky’s defense could find it difficult to defend their client if Roni Cohen-Pavon, the former chief revenue officer of Celsius, testifies against him as reported. Cohen-Pavon entered a plea in September for four criminal offenses. He remains free on bail until his hearing in December.
Celsius Network foi uma das muitas empresas de criptografia que declarou falência em 2022. Mashinsky resignado as the company’s CEO in September 2022, months after Celsius filed for bankruptcy. However, several US regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, all announced cases against Mashinsky.
Elsewhere, the trial for former FTX CEO Bankman-Fried resumed on Tuesday, October 3. Jury selection for the case got underway in a federal court in Manhattan. Bankman-Fried’s trial will no doubt attract massive media coverage owing to his status within and outside the crypto world.
The 31-year-old mingled with some of the higher powers in Washington at the height of his fame and secured the services of Hollywood’s biggest name to represent his company, FTX. However, FTX suffered a dramatic collapse in late 2022. The company, which was once valued at $32 billion, filed for bankruptcy on November 11, 2022. Bankman-Fried was later charged with multiple counts of fraud in relation to the collapse.
Lewis Kaplan, a veteran federal judge, will preside over the proceedings, and the trial is anticipated to last roughly six weeks. Interestingly, several former FTX executives are all expected to testify against Bankman-Fried at the trial, including Bankman-Fried’s former girlfriend, Caroline Ellison.
