According to Cointelegraph, crypto lender Celsius Network's legal journey has gained another chapter as bitcoin miner Core Scientific accused the company of refusing to pay its bills since filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to court papers filed on Oct. 19. Core Scientific claims the default on payments is threatening its financial stability, already hurt by crypto winter and high energy costs. As per the filing, Celsius owes Core $598,743.20 for post-petition PPT charges related to the August 2022 invoice, plus another $1,505,940.08 for post-petition PPT charges related to the September 2022 invoice, yielding a total of $2,104,683.28. Core continues to lose approximately $53,000 per day to cover the postpetition increased electricity tariffs that Celsius refuses to pay," said the company. In the court filings, Celsius alleges that Core Scientific delayed mining rig deployment and supplied them with less power than required under their contract. Celsius is reportedly seeking a court order holding Core in contempt and ordering it to fulfill its obligations. Meanwhile, Core requested the court to compel Celsius to pay past-due bills or allow it to serve the contract. The dispute between Celsius and Core is scheduled for a hearing by United States Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn next month.
