Celsius founder withdrew $10M weeks to crypto lender’s bankruptcy: Report

Celsius Network (CEL/USD) founder Alex Mashinsky, who recently resigned as the bankrupt crypto lender’s CEO, withdrew $10 million from the firm’s accounts just weeks before it announced a halt to all customer withdrawals, according to a Financial Times report.

This latest Celsius news report, which cites unnamed sources, claims the embattled Celsius ex-CEO pulled the money in May, just as the crypto market descended into a massive contagion. The period had seen the collapse of cryptocurrency Terra Luna and its stablecoin TerraUSD, with deleveraging and customer jitters mounting as crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) hit the dust.

Celsius paused customer withdrawals on 12 June, with the company going on to file for Chaper 11 bankruptcy in July sporting a balance sheet with a $1.2 billion hole.

Money used to ‘pay taxes’

According to a spokesperson of the ex-CEO, Mashinsky did disclose that $44 million belonging to him and his family are frozen together with other assets on Celsius. The disclosure was made to the unsecured creditors committee (UCC), with most of what the founder withdrew going into payment of state and federal taxes.

These revelations, the FT noted in its report, will more than likely see Mashinsky face a lot more scrutiny as Celsius submits details of his transactions to court.

The exercise, which is planned for the next few days, is part of the disclosures expected to shed more light on Celsius’ financial health.

Singapore-based crypto lender Hodlnaut cuts 80% jobs

Singapore-based crypto lender Hodlnaut cuts 80% jobs

Hodlnaut, a troubled Singapore-based crypto lender, says it has released 80% of its workforce as it looks to execute a recovery plan after its financial health took a major hit.

In a blog post Friday, Hodlnaut said that it has laid off 40 employees (constituting 80% of the staff) since halting withdrawals. Per the company, the layoffs are necessary as the team tries to execute a recovery plan, with a reduction in expenditure among the first steps towards that.

The distressed firm will also look to stabilise its liquidity further through a reduction of its burn rates. As such, “all open term interest rates” have been cut to 0% APR, with this set to take effect on 22 August, 5 pm Singapore time. 

Hodlnaut’s financial health

Hodlnaut is one of many crypto firms to suffer losses following the collapse of TerraUSD, and the broader market crash that engulfed the ecosystem and sent crypto prices plummeting.

Part of the recovery plans the firm has put in place since being forced to pause customer withdrawals is to seek judicial management. In Singapore, this is a process involving the courts in which a firm seeks protection (a moratorium) from liquidation as it embarks on a recovery effort.

If the judicial application is successful, the company’s crypto holdings – Bitcoin (BTC/USD) and Ethereum (ETH/USD) – will not be liquidated in a manner that might impact customers, the firm’s statement noted. The process of acquiring an interim Judicial Manager has started, with the Singapore Court expected to hear the application beginning Monday, 22 August 2022.

Meanwhile, the company’s efforts to navigate the turmoil are likely also to depend on an ongoing investigation involving the Singapore police. 

Hodlnaut did not provide specific details about the pending police proceedings, only noting that the “actions are taken in what we believe to be in the best interests of our users.”

How To Use Celsius

Crypto savings accounts like Celsius are very unpopular with one particular group of people: politicians.  Why? Who knows.

What does matter is that if you believe that HODL’ing […]
