He was born on October 5, 1965

 Alex Mashinsky was raised in USSR, a communist country at that time; he first-hand experienced the struggles faced by his parents; even though both were working, there was a constant fear of lack of food, and there were times when they would stand in long lines for food, and by the time their turn came, there would be nothing left.

When the time came, Alex was called to duty, where he saw and experienced unimaginable things, but he still went on and survived. While he Israel, he attended different universities; he enrolled in The Open University of Israel, where he majored in electrical engineering but sadly did not graduate.

Alex Mashinsky Career

His name is floating in the headlines, not because of a new business venture or partnership but due to his resignation from his post as CEO of the bankrupt crypto lender Celsius Network. On Tuesday, September 27, 2022, Alex Mashinsky submitted an official letter of resignation to the company’s Board of Directors, stating that he will continue to help the company to bring out the best outcome for all creditors; he also regretted how much of a “distraction” his presence was as the CEO

He was responsible for a series of poor trades in early 2022, which led to the crypto lender’s downfall; Celsius was one of the major crypto lenders and also the first one to freeze user withdrawal as the markets began to crash, on June 12, 2022, after a month of silence, the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, revealing a 1.2 billion dollar hole in their balance sheet.

Bankruptcy was due to hastily paying back money to various Defi loans to prevent them from getting liquidated on over $440 million; three days later, Alex Mashinsky released his resignation. The firm, however, paid back the entire loan and recovered the funds.

Since then, the company has gained permission to sell its mined Bitcoins, and they are surely running at a loss, but creditors are trying to regroup and cut their losses; there are also reports stating that Celsius has been secretly unable to pay debts ever since 2019, but Alex had made false and misleading statements to exaggerate the firm’s financial health.

He owns 8 popular companies, including Celsius Network, Transit Wireless, GroundLink, Q-Wireless, etc.
