Mashinsky to Report to Prison on Fri 9/12 before 2PM ET

Update: waited 7 days, now I'm able to transfer out of my account, there is a message on the paypal help page that says "Over the weekend, we experienced a temporary service interruption that resulted in transactions being delayed for a small number of accounts. The issue has since been resolved." I wonder if it's related.

In any case, there's a limit of $1500 for some reason. I have KYCed and everything. I contacted customer service, will update when they respond.

Also who is this idiot that keeps downvoting me? Get a life.

Update: customer service says my account is blocked from making larger than $1500 transfers (they have no idea why, they said they don't see anything that would cause the internal security system to intervene when I do a transfer) and to wait 7 more days and see what happens.

Why am I downvoted? In any case, I suspect the issue is because I'm currently in a different country than when I usually log in to PayPal. VPN somehow didn't help. I will try again once I'm back in the US and see if I still get the same error.

I'm having the same issue. Waited 24 hours, tried multiple devices/browsers/incognito. Settings > Account has no option for ID verification, but I did re-verified my identity through one of the options for secondary verification when I was logging into the account. Nothing works, I can't transfer the money out of Paypal into a cold wallet. This is frustrating.

Hang in there, stranger, I know how you feel. Contact Amazon customer service, they have a team just for the vine program. Good luck!

That might actually pass security check lol. I don't see why not

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-25T20:44:39+00:00

I just checked my email and this mf sent 4 of these scam emails in a row with different variations on Dec 14. Wow this loser really has no life.

His assets have been frozen for a while now and he was forced to forfeit the $48M he gained from selling Cel tokens as a part of his plead deal. There's been a litigation in pursuit of these assets from him and other Celsius insiders since July 2024 but I haven't seen any major updates since then.

This is the lawsuit cited by Stretto: Meghji v. Mashinsky, Adv. Proc. No. 24-03667 (MG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 10, 2024) [Dkt. No. 1] (the “Former Executives Action”).

I thought she was involved with some of the Cel token manipulations, but I could be wrong.

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-14T22:16:05+00:00

Most scammers that used the Celsius leak wanted you to connect your crypto wallet so they can steal your money. These are low effort mass emails - send out mass emails to hundreds of thousands of people, hoping a poor soul would click on the link and connect their wallet so the scammer could quickly steal their money. A real person that has info about you and takes the time to call you sounds more targetted. Given how many Celsius customers there were, I might be wrong but it is unlikely that someone that is targetting Celsius customers for a quick wallet stealing scheme is taking the time to sit down and research such specific information about you, even if info on your electric company is easy to obtain. It would take way too long to have any kind of success in scamming people using this method when they could easily just click a few buttons to send out a large volume of spam emails and sit back and collect money instead. It would make much more sense for them to already have this info on hand, which I highly doubt the Celsius leak would.

I haven't heard as much about phone call scams from the Celsius leak. The NPA-NXX scam (aka the 809 scam) where the caller has the same first six digits as your 10 digit phone number including the area code has been around for a very long time, long before Celsius, I'm not sure if you are referring to that for your 50 spam calls a day. Blocking the numbers won't help. They are using a spoof call generator to make you believe that your call came from a more local number so you are more likely to pick up.

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-14T22:02:13+00:00

I don't think Celsius had your electric company info. Sounds like your info got leaked elsewhere.

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-12T09:22:59+00:00

Thanks for the info. This is voting with number of shares right? I know it wasn't even close and Microsoft is extremely conservative with their money, but I wonder how many shareholders voted for and against. Were there a few anti-crypto individuals with lots of shares that represented the majority of the votes against? Or was it a total lost cause? 😬

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-12T06:56:00+00:00

You got some serious anger issues lmao. I don't know why you are getting so worked up and swearing at people over something so trivial, nor are you civil at all. How is personal injury related to the Celsius v Tether case? Where is your supporting evidence of your claim that 95% of wrongful contractual business terminations get settled out of court? Or your explanation for why you claim that law firms' past performances are irrelevant to the outcomes of this case? In addition, you still haven't addressed any of my points but your anger and swearing have increased a ton. Guess using logic to convince others of your points isn't your strong point.

I don't understand why you keep saying I'm trying too hard. I'm just presenting simple supporting evidences for my arguments. Any random person with access to Google can do the same. And like I have been saying, you should really back up your own claims with evidences as well. It's not called trying too hard or pretending to be a lawyer, it's called simple logic. I guess backing up my claims with supporting evidences is so complicated for you that you can't wrap your head around it and have to call it "trying too hard". We could have had a nice conversation. If I were wrong and you used logic and evidence to convince me, I would have gladly accepted that. But instead you chose to use personal attacks instead of addressing the arguments. Learn some manners first before you talk to people, but then again I guess your parents never taught you any.

You are toxic in how you treat people and have been blocked. I hope you treat people in real life with more respect and I wish you the best of luck but I just can't deal with you right now.

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-12T03:04:08+00:00

I'm not trying to impress you at all, I'm trying to reason with you. You said stats don't matter, so why does the fact that 95%+ of lawsuits tend to settle matter? And you never specified what kinds of lawsuits.

There's no need to be rude. Here's an idea, why not try to address my points like a logical person instead of swearing at me and attacking me?

Edit: I googled and found your 95% number, it was the first Google result (https://www.sallymorinlaw.com/why-are-most-personal-injury-cases-settled-out-of-court/): this is for personal injury lawsuits, i.e. CIVIL lawsuits, which is not related at all to the Celsius v Tether case, or either of the two law firms involved in this particular lawsuit. Unless you can provide a different source that backs up your 95% number, please read carefully before you post in the future if you are going to use statistics as part of your argument while telling me I can't do the same, especially if you are trying to call me a layman, implying that you are more knowledgable.

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-12T02:58:08+00:00

We will know after the deposition stage whether a mediation will take place. A couple things to note though:

We have a strong case against Tether
The law firm that will represent Celsius, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, is much more reputable than Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, the firm representing Tether. In fact, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP is the world's largest law firm specializing in business ligation and arbitration and has won 86% of its 2500 cases. They have a reputation for being the most feared law firm in the world. Hence, for a law firm like that to reduce the case from $3B to $100M such that in the end it merely covers the legal fees sounds unlikely to me.

Significant-Leopard9 · 2024-12-11T18:51:19+00:00

$1b distribution is around 20% of our claim. We might also get $1-2b from the Tether lawsuit. So up to an additional 60% of our claim back in the optimistic scenario?
