The part played by Kristine Mashinsky, the spouse of Alexander Mashinsky, a former Celsius executive, is noteworthy. Out of a total of 17 million dollars that were illegally taken out, it is claimed that she made last-minute withdrawals of over 2 million dollars’ worth of tokens in May. The corporation then put a halt on investors’ further right to withdraw their money in June. Then, in July, a court file for insolvency was made after that.
