Crypto Astrologer and social media star Maren Altman is facing criticism for keeping her deal with bankrupt crypto lender Celsius a secret from her followers. Apparently, she promoted Celsius on her platforms without disclosing that the endorsement was paid. According to reports, Altman received $30,000 from the crypto firm in the months before its bankruptcy.
Altman, who explained her stand, stated that she was never paid in CEL. The social media astrologer argued, “I wasn’t even allowed to market CEL pumping etc as seen below (referring to screenshots of her contract in the Twitter thread).” She proceeded to state that all her deliverables were always disclosed vividly.

Posting screenshots from her contracts, Altman says “As a creator, being sponsored isn’t something to hide. Anything not in contract isn’t related.” The astrologer also declared that she wasn’t going to engage in any further discussions related to the matter.
However, Altman did state in a media interview, that her error was trusting Celsius. When asked if she knew about Celsius’s financial situation, she reinstated that she did not have a clue. “Not a clue, no visibility on anything other than my marketing campaign.”
Celsius, the once grand crypto lending platform, is still steeped in legal turmoil. In a recent find, it was reported that three c-level executives of the Celsius Network had cashed out approximately $56.12 million in cryptocurrency prior to the bankruptcy incident.
Reportedly, Daniel Leon, the former CSO of Celsius apparently pulled out a whopping $7 million between May 27 and May 3. And the now infamous former CEO Alex Mashinsky took out about $10 million in Bitcoin in May 2022. The third on the list was Celsius CTO Nuke Goldstein.
