在巨大的压力下，一家试验性的加密货币贷款机构 Celsius 在重压下崩溃，并于 7 月被迫申请破产。然而，该公司的首席执行官最近向他的员工透露了一个古怪的提议。正在尝试为公司提供急需的一剂强心剂。
摄氏网络会议的泄露音频已在互联网上浮出水面。著名的摄氏灾难受害者蒂芙尼·方 (Tiffany Fong) 在她的 YouTube 频道上发布了这段音频，并在她的网站上发布了文字记录。这段录音被分享给了《纽约时报》。
首席执行官在会议上提出了改变 Celsius 当前轨迹的雄心勃勃的战略。通过创建托管服务，Alex Mashinky 和 Olen Blonstein 希望重新获得客户的信任。托管服务意味着银行将持有资产以妥善保管。

开尔文，在温度测量系统之后，被选为该计划的名称。
“所以这条赢得信任的道路……我认为这是聊天中提出的问题之一，就像我们将如何赢得信任？我认为我们未来将提供的基础产品之一是托管，”奥伦在会议期间说。
“……监护的核心概念是那是你的财产，我们代表你持有它，所以这就是我们要提供的，”奥伦指出。
然而，员工和互联网用户都对这一策略持保留态度。为了安慰他们，首席执行官将 Celsius 的破产与百事可乐和达美航空公司的破产相提并论。
这种对比并不适合员工队伍，因为百事可乐和达美航空公司都因自然的市场力量而破产。过去，两家企业巨头的情况不同。
比较没有说服力
鉴于 Celsius 由于不道德的商业行为而陷入困境，因此比较不受欢迎的原因是可以理解的。
与此同时，联邦贸易委员会 (FTC) 希望通过其律师索取必要材料来参与法庭诉讼。
据报道，FTC 正在采取这一行动来保护 Celsius 消费者的敏感信息。 Celsius也提出了同样的要求。
“在我们准备在未来几周内就简化的索赔流程与您进行沟通时，我们要求法院考虑在特定材料中编辑某些可识别个人身份的客户信息。我们将与案件各方合作，努力达成共识，”该公司在最近的一条推文中表示。
此外，推文还显示 Celsius 要求建立重要的托管和预扣账户。
人们有疑问
泄露的音频和 Celsius 最近的行动并没有起到很大的缓和客户信心的作用。套用一位 Twitter 用户的话：
“换句话说，所有其他客户都被搞砸了。这个 30 亿美元的空白将很难填补。”
随着 Celsius 重新定位以卷土重来，它可能会发现自己在下一次听证会上声名狼藉。
