$SOL $BTC WARNING ⚠️ He Put His Farm, His Loan, and His Life Savings Into Crypto. Then It Was Gone. I keep seeing posts like the one below. “Don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose.” Sounds obvious. But people still do it. In 2022, when crypto lender Celsius collapsed, hundreds of people sent letters to the bankruptcy court. The stories are brutal. One guy put *$525,000 he got from a government loan* into Celsius because it promised 18% interest. An 84-year-old widow lost *$30,000 – her entire savings* – that she’d put there for “safe” passive income. An Irish farmer said he was at risk of losing his farm. One client wrote: _“By the time I finished the email, I had collapsed onto the floor with my head in my hands and I fought back tears”_. Others said they had suicidal thoughts after losing everything. Celsius told them for weeks: “We’re fine. We have the best risk management”. Then on June 12, they froze all withdrawals. Money gone overnight. The lesson isn’t “crypto is bad.” The lesson is: *When you use rent money, loan money, or your kid’s college fund to chase 100x, you’re not investing. You’re gambling with your life.* Crypto doesn’t care about your plans. One freeze, one crash, one liquidation cascade, and it’s over. If you’re in crypto right now, ask yourself: If this went to zero tomorrow, would I still be okay? If the answer is no, you’ve got too much in. Don’t let your dream become the reason you lose your real life. #Crypto #RiskManagement #Celsius #bitcoin #Investing
$SOL $BTC WARNING ⚠️

He Put His Farm, His Loan, and His Life Savings Into Crypto. Then It Was Gone.

I keep seeing posts like the one below. “Don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose.”
Sounds obvious. But people still do it.

In 2022, when crypto lender Celsius collapsed, hundreds of people sent letters to the bankruptcy court. The stories are brutal.

One guy put *$525,000 he got from a government loan* into Celsius because it promised 18% interest.
An 84-year-old widow lost *$30,000 – her entire savings* – that she’d put there for “safe” passive income.
An Irish farmer said he was at risk of losing his farm.

One client wrote: _“By the time I finished the email, I had collapsed onto the floor with my head in my hands and I fought back tears”_.
Others said they had suicidal thoughts after losing everything.

Celsius told them for weeks: “We’re fine. We have the best risk management”.
Then on June 12, they froze all withdrawals. Money gone overnight.

The lesson isn’t “crypto is bad.”
The lesson is: *When you use rent money, loan money, or your kid’s college fund to chase 100x, you’re not investing. You’re gambling with your life.*

Crypto doesn’t care about your plans. One freeze, one crash, one liquidation cascade, and it’s over.

If you’re in crypto right now, ask yourself:
If this went to zero tomorrow, would I still be okay?
If the answer is no, you’ve got too much in.

Don’t let your dream become the reason you lose your real life.

Celsius前高管被判服刑期已满,Tornado Cash联创仍面临重审 近日,美国联邦法院法官John Koeltl 对加密货币借贷平台Celsius前首席营收官 Roni Cohen-Pavon作出判决,认定其三年服刑期已满,无需额外监禁,但仍需接受一年监督释放。 早在2023年9月,Cohen-Pavon因 操纵CEL 代币价格和平台欺诈被捕,最初否认四项欺诈和共谋指控,但仅在约一周后便改口认罪。 Cohen-Pavon与前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky 于2023年7月被起诉,此前Celsius在2022年崩盘,导致数十亿美元的投资人和用户损失。 Cohen-Pavon是以色列公民,被起诉时身处美国境外,后返回美国接受传讯。2023年9月他以50万美元保释金获释,在部分限制条件下可自由出行。 随着Cohen-Pavon的判决落定,加之Alex Mashinsky 已因认罪服刑12年,Celsius相关的刑事案件基本收尾。 Mashinsky 在刑事案件中被判支付4800万美元没收款,Cohen-Pavon则同意支付超过100万美元及4万美元罚款。 Cohen-Pavon在宣判前致信法官表示,无论法庭如何判决,他都将用余生努力成为家人原本期望的丈夫、父亲和男人。 与此同时,加密混币服务Tornado Cash联合创始人Roman Storm的司法程序仍在继续。 去年陪审团对 Storm的 两项指控未能达成一致裁决后,检方请求法官安排在10月重审其洗钱和违反制裁共谋指控。 Storm当前以200万美元保释金被限制在纽约、华盛顿和加利福尼亚部分地区活动,但法官已批准他前往加州参加其侄女的高中毕业典礼。 #Celsius #TornadoCash

Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky Forfeits Bankruptcy ClaimsBreaking news 📢📢 Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of Celsius, has agreed to relinquish all claims to the assets of the bankrupt crypto lender, facilitating further distributions to creditors. This agreement, submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, bars Mashinsky and three associated entities from receiving any bankruptcy proceeds. All claims made by Mashinsky will be withdrawn and will not receive any distribution under the Chapter 11 plan. Consequently, he and his related entities will be permanently excluded from any recovery in the Celsius bankruptcy, allowing the reserved assets to be redistributed to other creditors. The court will maintain oversight of the distribution process while Mashinsky serves a 12-year prison sentence for defrauding customers and manipulating the CEL token's price. Celsius filed for Chapter 11 in July 2022 due to a liquidity crisis and has since transitioned to a recovery-focused entity, distributing over $2.5 billion to around 251,000 creditors by August 2024.

BREAKING: Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky Sentenced to 12 Years for Crypto FraudAlex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of the cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius Network, has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for orchestrating a multi-billion-dollar fraud scheme that misled investors and manipulated the market. 🏦 What Happened? Mashinsky launched Celsius in 2017, promoting it as a safe, high-yield alternative to traditional banking. The platform attracted over $25 billion in customer assets by offering interest rates as high as 18.6% on crypto deposits. However, in July 2022, Celsius collapsed, freezing $4.7 billion in customer funds and revealing a $1.2 billion financial gap. In December 2024, former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky pleaded guilty to securities fraud and commodities fraud. He admitted to: 1 Misleading customers about the financial health of Celsius and the safety of their investments. 2 Using customer funds for high-risk investments without proper disclosure. 3 Manipulating the price of Celsius’s native token (CEL) by orchestrating large-scale purchases to inflate its value, while secretly selling his own holdings for personal gain. On May 8, 2025, U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl sentenced Mashinsky to 12 years in federal prison. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year sentence, emphasizing the deliberate and deceptive nature of his actions and his lack of remorse. The judge noted that the fraud was the result of deliberate decisions rather than market conditions or negligence. 📉 The Fallout The collapse of Celsius left many investors, including retail customers, with significant losses. At its peak, Celsius managed over $25 billion in assets, but its bankruptcy in 2022 left a substantial financial gap, with only about 60% of customer funds partially recovered.
