Celsius’s deal with Prime Trust as fraudsters targets clients 

• If not understood by an extended bankruptcy, then there are court documents that tell us the whole story of the bankrupt crypto lender Celsius. 
• A new flaw has been witnessed as the fraudsters imitating attornies indulged in its Chapter 11 filings. 

The frauds that were tried are creating new issues for Celsius, which suspended withdrawals and associated customer activities in July, quoting “drastic market conditions.”

“Our eventual aim is balancing and restoring withdrawals, and sends from one account to another very swiftly,” the firm revealed in a blog post. “There are several works in the coming days as we acknowledge different options, this thing will take some time, and there is a high chance that it may be postponed.”

In its latest collapse, lawyers for Celsius said in court filings at the beginning of this week that many unknown would-be evil actors have been approaching its creditors, presenting as Kirkland and Ellis attorneys. The efforts were mostly done by email, which has been considered to convince clients, whose accounts have been suspended for the past few months, to give back sensitive details in an attempt to get access to their accounts. 

The emails had links associated with them. The link was to a spreadsheet where receivers were asked to share their personal details. However, it is not clear yet, that the attempts went successful, at least for the hackers. 

The deal

It can’t be said now that it is a situation for Celsius’ feeling of having no hope. An offered deal with Prime Trust, the crypto custodian that accepted to return to the collapsed firm almost $17 million of its assets, is going along. 

It was just an initiation, as per the court records. A revised agreement offer found that Prime Trust also owes Celsius 7.4 bitcoins, 1,145.5 CEL tokens, 248.5 ether, and almost $364,000 of the stablecoin USDC. 

The fund which should be coming if both parties accept the agreement as well as the bankruptcy court, would not take the place where the Celsius is, hundred of millions of dollars down. But, each step shifts the needle gradually in regards to regaining funds for customer-turned-creditors, whom Celsius has referred to as its topmost priority. 

Meanwhile, visitors of the websites of Celsius get a pop-up detailing them of the unresolved bankruptcy and highlighting the definite, it is no longer a business. However, the career page of the bankrupt company still shows the open positions in each and every department and also claims that it is growing swiftly.
