In a momentous turn of events, the majority of Celsius creditors have overwhelmingly endorsed a blueprint. This blueprint orchestrates the restitution of approximately $2 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum to these creditors’ awaiting hands.
The protagonists in the Celsius bankruptcy saga have cast their votes in unison, solidifying their support for a master plan. This master plan not only facilitates the reimbursement of funds to these diligent creditors but also orchestrates the equitable distribution of assets through the inception of a novel enterprise.
According to a filing dated September 25th, courtesy of the bankruptcy firm Stretto, an astounding majority of the stakeholder classes have accorded their blessings to the proposed blueprint, with resounding consensus exceeding the formidable threshold of 98%.
However, while the electorate has issued an almost unanimous decree in favor of this master plan, the final imprimatur remains pending. This decisive seal of approval awaits its adjudication in the hallowed halls of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, scheduled for the 2nd of October.
As per a disclosure statement meticulously assembled on the 17th of August, the existing scheme will orchestrate the redistribution of approximately $2 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ether among the esteemed creditors of the Celsius Network. Additionally, this comprehensive blueprint delineates the equitable allocation of stakes in a nascent corporate entity, provisionally christened as “NewCo.”
“NewCo” shall embark on a journey to steward and expand the Debtors’ Bitcoin mining operations, engage in Ethereum staking, harness the latent potential of the Debtors’ other less liquid assets, and chart new horizons replete with value-enhancing, compliance-oriented business prospects, as elucidated in the document.
Notably, the stewardship of this burgeoning enterprise shall fall under the capable purview of the Fahrenheit Group, an amalgamation of crypto-savvy luminaries and institutions. This consortium boasts illustrious figures such as the former Algorand CEO, Steven Kokinos, the venerable venture capital outfit, Arrington Capital, the esteemed crypto mining entity, US Bitcoin Corp, the discerning Proof Group Capital Management, and the astute Arrington Capital advisor, Ravi Kaza.
Celsius Network, once a stalwart in the crypto landscape, found itself among the casualties of the turbulent 2022 bear market, eventually succumbing to bankruptcy on the fateful day of July 14, 2022.
On the eve of July 13, 2023, the SEC took legal action against Celsius and its erstwhile CEO, Alex Mashinsky. The charges revolved around the alleged raising of billions of dollars through unregistered and fraudulent offers pertaining to “crypto asset securities.”
Coinciding with these allegations, Mashinsky was apprehended on the very same day, following an indictment issued by the U.S. Department of Justice. This indictment levied accusations of fraudulent financial activities, deceptive practices aimed at investors, and a litany of similar transgressions against the former CEO.
