Why Is Alex Mashinsky Arrested? Bankrupt
Alex Mashinsky was allegedly arrested at Morristown Airport while trying to flee to Israel.
According to Fully Crypto, there is no arrest warrant issued for Alex but he was stopped and detained at the airport where he tried to get out of US soil.
However, several Twitter users are claiming the news to be fake and there is no official verification about Alex’s arrest available on the internet as the authorities have not revealed anything.
One user wrote, “@Mashinsky never attempted leaving the United States this is clearly #FUD to scare people participating in the #CelShortSqueeze, and if @Mashinsky was fleeing why would he fly to Israel which is an ally with U.S. that could extradite him if he really was scared of being arrested.”
While another Twitter user wrote, “BREAKING: Alex Mashinsky attempted to leave the country this week via Morristown Airport but was stopped by authorities. Unclear at this moment whether he was arrested or simply barred from leaving. Please contact me if you have more information on this.”
Alex might have been detained after his firm, Celsius Network, a borrowing and lending platform for digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, has stopped customers’ withdrawals citing the current financial and market situation.
Many people believe the liquidity shortage cited by the firm is fake and he is trying to scam people out of their money.
