According to Foresight News and reported by Cointelegraph, the former CEO of the now-defunct crypto lending platform Celsius, Alex Mashinsky, has filed a motion in a New York court to overturn his 12-year sentence for fraud and market manipulation.

In the documents submitted to overturn the judgment, Mashinsky claims that former FTX CEO SBF intended to 'destroy Celsius' and accuses him of manipulating the market for the CEL token. He requests the judge to dismiss any FTX trust claims and provided text records with former Celsius Chief Revenue Officer Roni Cohen-Pavon, alleging that Roni Cohen-Pavon attempted a 'malicious takeover' of the platform.
