Celsius boss Alex Mashinsky’s “less flashy” approach may see him escape with a lighter sentence than SBF: Inner City Press, X Hall of Flame.
According to Matthew Lee, the one-man band behind Inner City Press, the atmosphere in the courtroom for Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky’s case is kind of “meh” compared with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Frieds more dramatic trial.
But Lee reckons that might work in Mashinskys favor, potentially leading to a lighter sentence. The disgraced former Celsius boss faces a similar number of fraud charges than SBF did, along with a possible sentence of many decades in prison, in a trial set for later this year.
He seems more of an older, more solid guy. I know there’s a lot of people that don’t like him but it’s a different vibe, he says of Mashinsky, adding that his whole aura is a lot less flashy.
