Celsius Network told customers to “Unbank Yourself” — then went bankrupt, leaving users’ deposits in the lurch — and now Krissy Machinsky, the wife of Celsius CEO and founder Alex Mashinsky, is selling T-shirts that say “Unbankrupt Yourself.”
Actor Ben McKenzie, who played Ryan Atwood on “The O.C.” (and now a cryptocurrency critic and soon-to-be co-author on an investigative book), pointed out the T-shirts on Twitter.

The shirts are sold on the e-commerce site usastrong.IO, which Krissy Mashinsky founded.
It’s unclear when the T-shirt went up for sale, or where the proceeds will go, but the company tweeted about at least one version of it (it comes in black, white, and gray) on September 7.

It also is unclear who manufactures the product, as the e-commerce site sells from a host of merchants.
However, the usastrong.IO account did quote McKenzie’s tweet and said: “Thank you for promoting the tshirt. We have been able to increase TShirt production in Texas and add additional jobs because of your press.”
