The committee itself consists of seven people and representatives of organizations that have provided funds to Celsius. Recall that Celsius froze the withdrawal of client assets on June 12, and a month later the company went bankrupt. In June, several analysts said at once that the lending platform has liquidity problems. Celsius itself assured that the suspension of the withdrawal of funds was supposed to help “stabilize liquidity”, but did not specify the details of the incident. Court documents show that the company has more than 100,000 creditors.
