Talking point: Leon and Mashinsky are the latest high-level executives to leave Celsius, which is backed by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and whose collapse contributed to a widespread crypto crash over the summer. Former RBC banker Rod Bolger submitted his resignation in June. In August, Celsius withdrew a court motion to bring Bolger back as an advisor for at least six weeks for a fee of US$92,000 per month. Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported Mashinsky withdrew US$10 million from Celsius weeks before the company froze investor accounts.
