Yargıç Eski Celsius CEO'sunun Duruşma Tarihini Belirledi
- Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky will face trial for allegedly defrauding the company’s investors.
- Mashinsky $40 milyon tutarında kefalet aldı ancak seyahat ve mali kısıtlamalarla karşı karşıya.
- Eski FTX CEO'su Sam Bankman-Fried'ın davası Salı günü Manhattan mahkemesinde jüri seçimiyle başladı.
FTX kurucusu Sam Bankman-Fried'ın ceza davası başlarken, New York mahkemesi bir kripto para yöneticisinin yer aldığı başka bir yüksek profilli davanın tarihini duyurdu. Yargıç John Koeltl, Salı günü Amerika Birleşik Devletleri New York Güney Bölgesi Bölge Mahkemesindeki duruşmada, eski Celsius Network CEO'su Alex Mashinsky'nin ceza davasının 17 Eylül 2024'te başlayacağını duyurdu.
bu duyuru Mart, Temmuz ve Eylül aylarında üç duruşma öncesi konferansın düzenleneceğini kaydetti. Mashinsky, mahkeme işlemleri sırasında $40 milyon kefaletle serbest kalacak. Bu, seyahat etme yeteneği ve bazı finansal işlemler üzerindeki çok önemli kısıtlamalara rağmen.
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, 2022'de iflas ilan eden birçok kripto şirketinden biriydi. Mashinsky istifa 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.
