“In consideration for the advisory services rendered by Mr. Bolger, the Debtors agree to pay Mr. Bolger the sum of CAD 120,000 per month, prorated for partial months.”

Twitter Users React To Celsius’s Decision To Rehire Its Former CFO
Crypto Twitter went vocal with opinions soon after the news of Celsius network’s decision to rehire its former CFO went viral.
Several users commented that Celsius should focus on releasing users’ trapped funds, instead of hiring people on hefty monthly salaries. One user wrote that Celsius should liquidate and pay its users back their funds instead of rehiring its former CFO.
Celsius CFO will be paid $581 per hour. That’s 1 ETH destroyed every 3 hours. Just shut down this worthless company already. #StopTheSpend https://t.co/9Bdf3PvBxH
After seeing the insane salaries Celsius was paying it’s employees, the request to continue paying these high salaries in Ch11, and to bring back the CFO for something like 90k/month. I think Celsius and their plan is bullshit. Better to liquidate and pay us. #CelsiusNetwork
