Celsius' former chief revenue officer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to "having served his full sentence".

CoinFeed reported on May 15th, citing Cointelegraph, that U.S. Federal Judge John Koeltl sentenced Roni Cohen-Pavon, former Chief Revenue Officer of the defunct cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius, to "served a full sentence" with an additional year of supervised release. Cohen-Pavon initially pleaded not guilty after his arrest in September 2023, but changed his plea to guilty about a week later, admitting to manipulating the price of Celsius's CEL token and platform fraud. He and former CEO Alex Mashinsky were indicted together in July 2023. Cohen-Pavon had previously agreed to pay over $1 million in fines and a $40,000 penalty.
