SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 12 – After Alexander Mashinsky of Celsius was arrested on July 13, US Attorney Damian Williams held a press conference, and Inner City Press asked him to explain his thinking in agreeing to release on bail for Sam Bankman-Fried but demanding and obtaining the ongoing pre-trial detention of Avi Eisenberg and Miles Guo.
US Attorney Williams responded that every case is different. Inner City Press asked if his office would be seeking the detention of, or agreeing to release, Mashinsky. He declined to say either way, saying you will soon see.
At 2:45 pm the arraignment began, followed the the SDNY AUSAs' deal that Mashinsky would be released right after on bond. Inner City Press was there.
After 8 pm on January 12, 2024, Mashinsky's lawyers filed his motion to dismiss Counts 2 and 6, and to strike all references to Celsius' bankruptcy.
