SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 7 – 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
pre-trial
detention of
Avi
Eisenberg.
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.
Jump
cut to
December 3,
2024 when
Inner City
Press went to
cover US v.
Mashinsky -
Judge John G.
Koeltl asked,
do you wish to
plead guilty
to Counts 2
and 5? He said
yes. Thread here.
The
plea was
accepted and
sentencing set
for April 8,
2025 - with
plea
agreement,
surprisingly,
has a
guideline of
360 months,

Later Inner
City Press saw
him, along
carrying two
legal briefs,
going into
Pre-Trial
Services on
the 5th floor.
On
February 5,
2025
Mashinsky's
lawyers wrote
in asking to
push his
sentencing
back a month
from April 8
to May 8,
saying the US
Attorney's
Office does
not for now
consent -
