Celsius announced weeks ago that they would send emails to all coin holders. I haven't received an email from them, even though I sent multiple emails. I haven't received a reply or a reply with a link to the most common questions and answers. The money I saved with hard life to invest for my child's future, now even I can't get a fraction back. Please help me and thousands like me to receive our money back. Thank you very much Sincerely,](https://storage.mollywhite.net/micro/%25EF%25BF%25BD%25EF%25BF%25BDC%25EF%25BF%25BDh%25EF%25BF%25BD%253B8%25EF%25BF%25BDl_Screenshot-2024-03-14-at-4.58.33---PM.png)
