A federal judge has ordered that certain bank accounts and property connected to former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky be frozen following a motion from the United States Justice Department.
According to a Sept. 5 filing in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, a judge signed off on a request to unseal a restraining order related to Mashinsky’s assets. The Justice Department can freeze accounts at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch under the names of holding companies as well as accounts at First Republic Securities, SoFi (NASDAQ:SOFI) Bank and SoFi Securities under Mashinsky’s name.
