Lawyers for former Celcius CEO Alex Mashinsky have requested that his sentencing date be postponed from the original April 8, 2025, to May 8. Masinsky was arrested in 2023 and pleaded guilty in December 2024 to two criminal charges, including commodity fraud. Lawyers said they needed more time to prepare defense materials to accurately present Masinsky’s views on his behavior and other relevant factors. Although prosecutors opposed the extension request, they expressed willingness to postpone the sentence for a week.(theblock)
