Following a request from the US Justice Department, a federal judge has ruled that certain bank accounts and properties linked to the former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky be frozen.
The judge signed off a motion to unseal a restraining order pertaining to Mashinsky’s assets, according to a Sept. 5 filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. Accounts at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch in the names of holding companies, as well as accounts at First Republic Securities, SoFi Bank, and SoFi Securities in Mashinsky’s name, were all frozen by the Justice Department.
The injunction also covered Mashinsky’s Austin, Texas, property that he and his wife Kristine bought in 2021.
