Celsius Top Dogs Withdrew $17M Before Bankruptcy Proceedings

Celsius Top Dogs Withdrew $17M Before Bankruptcy Proceedings
A new court document reveals that former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky, former CSO Daniel Leon, and CTO Nuke Goldstein withdrew their crypto before Celsius paused withdrawals in June 2022.



Update 6 Oct. 19:00UTC: According to updated reports, CTO, Nuke Goldstein sent funds to other Celsius wallets, and did not receive the funds directly.



A Statement of Financial Affairs submitted on Oct. 5, 2022, to the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District reveals that the three executives withdrew  $42 million worth of Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Circle (USDC), and Celsius’s native CEL token.



Mashinsky’s mafia exposed



According to the  statement , former CEO Alex Mashinsky withdrew $10 million worth of crypto from his custody account in May 2022, first reported by the  Financial Times  on Oct. 3, 2022. Between May 27 and May 31, Leon allegedly withdrew $11 million, including $4 million worth of  CEL , from his account, while Goldstein allegedly withdrew $13 million.



Following the statement’s revelations, Goldstein came in for some flack on crypto Twitter since “Nuke” is a term used colloquially in crypto to describe a hefty and sudden price correction caused by a holder dumping a cryptocurrency.



Venture capital guru Mike Dudas, who heads up Ventures at Paxos, was a prominent participant in the ensuing Twitter roast.




never forget that @celsiusnetwork had a cto named nuke goldstein who rugged the hell out of millions — Mike Dudas (@mdudas) October 6, 2022





i delete my tweets once per week from now on, i'll be referring to these moments as "nuke goldsteins" — Mike Dudas (@mdudas) October 6, 2022




Another tweet by CelsiusLoans, an unofficial Twitter account representing Celsius’s unsecured creditors hoping for proceeds from its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, listed Goldstein’s apparent withdrawals.



Goldstein hit back, saying that funds were moved rather than withdrawn:




Not withdrawals. Look at my other accounts. Moved there. — Nuke Goldstein (@NukeGold) October 6, 2022




After the story broke, Simon Dixon , CEO of investment platform BnkToTheFuture.com, expressed sympathy for Celsius investors who had more faith in the platform than the founders. Goldstein responded by saying that divested creditors misinterpreted the transactions and that he was “working to get some context to the community and media.”



What this means for Celsius customers



Celsius’s Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (UCC) called for calm amidst calls for the executives to return the withdrawn funds, saying there is no regulatory precedent for such an action.




Users should carefully scrutinize statements online that Celsius can simply return coins without regulatory licenses or input. We are working hard to figure out the right answers to this complex issue. This is very important—we want to get the answer right for account holders. — Celsius Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (@CelsiusUcc) October 6, 2022




The committee is a legal entity formed to represent Celsius’s creditors after the company  filed  for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2022. The company raised its profile by offering yields as high as 18% on crypto deposits but made risky investments to follow through on that promise. As it stands, the company owes customers around $4.7 billion.



Following the bankruptcy hearing, Celsius creditors gathered on social media groups and channels such as CelsiusLoans to plot the recovery of their frozen crypto. According to a recent  court filing , the company’s assets will be auctioned off on Nov. 1, 2022.



The UCC is hosting a  Twitter spaces  event on Oct. 7, 2022, to update creditors on the latest court proceedings.
