Non-primary sources needed

edit

Particularly concerning the downfall and bankruptcy, most of the information has been sourced from Celsius or its executives directly. These primary sources are valuable and should be backed up with secondary sources to verify the information, both for importance and factual accuracy. I have deleted some passages that cite two primary sources and express an opinion about the company or its founder (e.g., statement A contradicts statement B, therefore the company has lied). This is synthesis, a form of original research, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. Please cite such connections to reliable secondary sources. White 720 (talk) 15:21, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Examiner’s report

edit

The Celsius examiner’s report is out, and according to this analysis by Molly White, it contains some rather unflattering things about the company and its leadership. https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/the-celsius-examiners-report-a-picture White 720 (talk) 01:24, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Alex Mashinsky Sentences

edit

The article talks about the downfall and closure of Celsius as if it were a mere bank-run, like the customers simply got scared, rather than defrauded, and that's just not the case. This was a criminal case, and the article should mention it.

I added a mention of Mashinsky's guilty plea and prison sentence, although I didn't find a reliable source that said that the company failed as a direct result of Mashinsky's fraudulent activities. If you find one, please add text that cites it. White 720 (talk) 23:43, 21 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
