According to data from CryptoSlate, the CEL coin has suffered as a result of the sales, falling by about 4% in the last day to $0.51774 as of press time.

As per Mashinsky and other senior executives of the insolvent company, Celsius, the court-appointed independent examiner found that the sales of CEL tokens had been profitable. According to the study, Mashinsky earned $68.7 million individually from the token sales.

Research indicates Celsius ran its business like a Ponzi scheme and used consumer funds to support its coin. Since leaving his job at the company on September 17, 2022, Alex Mashinsky has been the target of numerous accusations of malfeasance.

Additionally, reports suggest that Mashinsky withdrew $10 million from the company a few weeks prior to the company freezing customer funds and declaring bankruptcy. Moreover, the former CEO was charged with deceiving investors and clients.
