According to a filing in U.S. District Court, federal prosecutors asked for leniency for Roni Cohen-Pavon after citing his cooperation in the case against Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky.
Federal prosecutors have asked a U.S. court to reduce the sentence of former Celsius chief revenue officer Roni Cohen-Pavon, saying he provided substantial assistance in the criminal case against Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky. Cohen-Pavon pleaded guilty in September 2023 to fraud and conspiracy to manipulate the price of CEL, Celsius’s native token. The latest development came in a letter filed Monday in U.S. District Court and is tied to the broader Celsius prosecution, in which Mashinsky was sentenced to 12 years in prison in May 2025.
