Feds Aim to Lock Up Celsius Founder for 20 Years—Another Crypto CEO Bites the Dust

Alex Mashinsky—the once-celebrated face of now-bankrupt Celsius—faces a two-decade prison recommendation from the DOJ. The fall from ’crypto visionary’ to federal defendant is complete.
Subheader: From Yield Promises to Handcuffs
Mashinsky’s downfall mirrors crypto’s reckless 2022 crash—overpromising yields, underdelivering transparency. Now regulators are making an example of him, because nothing says ’justice’ like slamming the barn door after the horses fled to Binance.
Closing jab: At least his sentence will outlast most altcoin rallies.
