According to the statement released by Celsius, ”We confirm that Daniel Leon resigned from his position at Celsius and is no longer part of the organization.”
S. Daniel Leon, Celsius’ Co-Founder, resigned from his position as Chief Strategy Officer via an internal memo.
Earlier in September, Leon declared his 32.6K Celsius' common shares as worthless. BnkToTheFuture’s CEO, Simon Dixon, claimed Leon used his shares as a tax write-off.
Interestingly, Leon’s resignation was not publicly announced and was instead revealed by anonymous sources and an internal memo. According to Celsius’ email, the firm’s global tax director, Lior Koren, will take over by operating out of Israel.
Currently, the bankrupt lender’s third Co-Founder, Nuke Goldstein, remains with the company as its CTO.
The news came just a week after Alex Mashinsky stepped down as Celsius’ CEO. He claimed he would be actively involved in Celsius’ recovery plans even after his resignation.
Celsius has announced the dates for the auction of its assets. According to a court filing, the final bid deadline is October 17, with the auction scheduled on October 20.
