According to Bloomberg, Joseph Sarachek, a lawyer for some of Celsius's creditors, said in the New York bankruptcy court that many shareholders have recently contacted his office to request the liquidation of Ionic's assets. Another creditor said that some shareholders are trying to gain support to remove Ionic's board of directors. Ionic originally planned to go public on the Nasdaq in the middle of this year, but due to the resignation of auditor RSM US in May and former CEO Matt Prusak Pesce, Ionic plans to go public in 2025. Pesce added that the process of hiring a new auditor may take a few more weeks. RSM's resignation was not due to differences in accounting principles, but a decision to no longer accept cryptocurrency customers. Ionic is developing a Bitcoin mining facility in Ward County, Texas. One of the four planned buildings has been completed and the rest are still under construction. Some creditors criticized the board of directors for its lack of experience in crypto mining. Former Celsius customers are also partially repaid through cryptocurrencies and cash. About $2.5 billion has been distributed to 251,000 Celsius creditors, and about 121,000 creditors are still waiting for payments averaging $1,500, the advisers said in court filings Monday.
