Cryptocurrency community suggests shocking theories about the deaths of the largest cryptocurrency holders

The deaths of four crypto billionaires within a month have attracted considerable attention from the cryptocurrency community. Each of the deaths occurred under suspicious circumstances, with some cryptocurrency tycoons admitting that they would leave this world very soon.

4 crypto billionaires dead in the span of a month. Just before, and during the FTX collapse.

Too strange?

In late October, MakerDAO co-founder Nikolay Musheghyan was found dead on a Puerto Rican beach just hours after he tweeted that he was being pursued by the security services. The next on the list was broker Javier Biosca, who was found dead on November 22, 2022 in Estepona. At the time, Biosca was the main suspect in the largest cryptocurrency fraud in Spain.

on November 23, 2022, Amber Group co-founder Tiantian Kullander was mysteriously found dead in his sleep. Just two days later, Vyacheslav Taran, a crypto billionaire from the occupying country, died in a helicopter crash.

The four deaths of crypto billionaires have spawned several conspiracy theories among crypto enthusiasts. One Twitter user suggested that it was all the work of the mafia (though he did not specify which one). Another user linked the mysterious deaths to the «central bank hierarchy» (also without specifying which country or association of countries), sarcastically writing: «I definitely wouldn’t invest in anything that has to do with the central bank hierarchy. Cryptocurrencies are very unreliable, 100%.»

Several Reddit users suggested that the crypto billionaires faked their own deaths to avoid the consequences of their dubious transactions. Other users suspected that the rich probably live under fake names and use death to start a new phase in their lives.

The crypto ecosystem is known for its fascination with conspiracy theories. A similar story took place in May 2020, when the CEO of the closed crypto exchange QuadrigaCX mysteriously died during a visit to India. By the way, at the end of December, QuadrigaCX carried out transactions three years after its collapse. A well-known cryptocurrency blogger and whistleblower ZachXBT recorded the movement of 104 BTC from five addresses associated with the Canadian cryptocurrency exchange.

As a reminder, the most notorious crypto fraudster Ruja Ignatova, also known as Cryptoqueen, may now be a man. Law enforcement officials suggest that Ignatova may have resorted to such tricks to avoid arrest for her fraud. Cryptoqueen is the only woman on the FBI’s list of the 10 most wanted fugitive criminals. In 2017, law enforcement lost sight of the woman for good.
