Death in crypto: Vyacheslav Taran

Social media users speculated that Taran’s death was no coincidence, despite his career success being tarnished by a financial controversy.
The Ukrainian news agency UNIAN allegedly stated, without providing any evidence, that Taran was a “billionaire crypto businessman with possible ties to Russia’s foreign intelligence service,” as reported by The Daily Mail.
Titanian Kullander
Tiantian Kullander, age 30, co-founded Amber Group, a digital currency trading platform recently valued at $3 billion. The company said Kullander had died “unexpectedly in his sleep” on Nov. 23.
After founding Amber in 2017 with a group of financial insiders, including former employees of Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Morgan Stanley, he played a critical role in the company’s meteoric rise, including funding an additional $100 million.

Only that Kullander died in his sleep could be confirmed; no other information was provided.

Nikolai Mushegian
Nikolai Mushegian, co-founder of cryptocurrency lending platform MakerDAO, was reportedly found dead in a Puerto Rican lake just hours after tweeting that he suspected US and Israeli intelligence agencies of conspiring to kill him. “murder”.
His family suspects no foul play, as the young millionaire had a history of mental health problems.

However, some of his friends and colleagues have agreed with the baseless rumors that his death was suspicious.
The news of Mushegian’s death, combined with his latest tweet and other bleak messages about fighting “bad people”, has fueled conspiracy theories on the internet and in the small but close-knit Puerto Rican cryptocurrency community.
The CIA and the Mossad and the pedo elite run a kind of sex trafficking blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands. They’re going to set me up with a laptop planted by my ex-girlfriend who was a spy. They will torture me to death.
