Having no clue that Celsius is/was a crypto platform, this headline sounds like USA propaganda pushing Fahrenheit.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

I assumed it was the drink.
Since American... I wonder all the more what the rights to the brand name are like. I couldn't find anything quickly. Is Celsius/CELSIUS a protected trademark? Well, in America, the most unfair economy, I wouldn't be surprised either way.
It is a surname. You surely cannot register a trademark against a surname, even in the USA?
You sure can! It's done all the time for family businesses. Though there are some stipulations; if your last name is super common, is also a common word, or name of a profession, then the trademark is likely to get rejected. For example, if your last name is Brown or Smith or Hunter, you're probably not gonna get it. But if you're Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen, then you're probably in luck. It's a very manual process that's kind of open to interpretation by whoever is filing your application.
McDonald's is probably the most widely-known trademarked surname.
thanks for mentioning it, thought it was about the energy drinks
Dude only made 48mil on it and had to give it all back plus 12 years. Clearly he wasn’t sucking off enough republicans, and he definitely should not have done this in New York.
he was rubbing it in his victims faces too. after scamming them he was selling "go bank yourself" tshirts or something like that. we wish the SEC caught more of these thieves
Wow, that is kinda douchey. You don’t rob a bank and then call up and laugh at them.
Alexander Mashinsky orchestrated one of the biggest frauds in the crypto industry
Small potatoes compared to the con man in the white house.
Would it be too much to ask to get the convicted felon grifter cheeto-in-chief to serve his punishment in jail too?

12C is fairly mild. 12F... yeah, you're gonna need some layers.
Ok, time to use K because I'm sure as hell not using F.
Here's a playlist of Coffeezilla's investigation into Celsius:
