According to the Bloomberg report, US Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn ordered Celsius Network LLC to return cryptocurrency that never touched the lender’s interest-bearing accounts to its customers.
Celsius was created in 2017 to be one of the first cryptocurrency platforms to which users could transfer their crypto assets, earn rewards on crypto assets, and/or take loans using those transferred crypto assets as collateral. Celsius has more than 1.7 Million registered users and approximately 300,000 active users with account balances greater than $100.
The crypto lending platform paused its withdrawals in June and later announced its bankruptcy, causing borrowers who have been unable to get their collateral off the platform.
Alan Knitowski, who worked in Technology and Finance for more than 25 years and is CEO of a mobile software firm that trades on the Nasdaq, said in an interview, “Every aspect of what they did was wrong. If my CFO or I actually did anything that looked like this, we would immediately be charged.”
