Leon resigned earlier this week, without stating a reason. Last month, he declared his 32,600 Celsius common stock as worthless as part of his bankruptcy court case.

Elsewhere in the 14,500-page court document, Mashinsky’s wife withdrew over US$2 million on 31 May. The document leaking into the public eye has drawn flack from Twitter users.

“This horrific breach of privacy will lead to many robbed & killed,” wrote prominent Web3 tweeter 0xfoobar, “Anything not provably [sic] cryptographically private will become public.”
