Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of Celsius, has filed a motion to overturn his 12-year prison sentence, citing ineffective counsel, a conflict of interest with his attorneys from Mukasey & Young LLP, and the application of the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine. In his appeal, he also linked Celsius's losses to the alleged actions of Sam Bankman-Fried regarding CEL and stETH tokens. Previously, Mashinsky pleaded guilty to charges of securities fraud.
