Ex-Celsius CEO is charged with fraud | CNN Business

An indictment unsealed Thursday in New York charges Alexander Mashinsky with securities fraud, wire fraud and commodities fraud. Mashinsky and Roni Cohen-Pavon, Celsius’ chief revenue officer, were also charged with multiple counts of manipulating the price of the platform’s native crypto token, CEL, while they were offloading their own tokens at inflated prices.
