Many blamed the deaths on billionaires’ past, while others suspected
some form of foul play and even execution...

The death of four crypto billionaires within a month has caught the
crypto community's attention. These deaths occurred under suspicious
circumstances, and more importantly, some of these billionaires have
raised alarms about being in danger.

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

    Too strange 🤨 🚨

The death spiral started towards the end of October when Nikolai
Mushegian, the co-founder of MakerDAO, was found dead on a Puerto
Rican beach just hours after tweeting that intelligence agencies were
after him. The next billionaire to perish was broker Javier Biosca,
who was found dead on Nov. 22, 2022, in Estepona. At the time, Biosca
was being investigated for the biggest cryptocurrency fraud in Spain.

On Nov. 23, 2022, Amber Group's co-founder Tiantian Kullander, was
found dead mysteriously in his sleep. Just two days later, Russian
crypto billionaire Vyacheslav Taran died in a helicopter crash.

Apart from these four suspicious deaths, another death made headlines
on Dec. 30 when Mr. Park Mo, the vice president of Vidente, the
largest shareholder of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb,
was found dead mysteriously in front of his house in the early
morning.

The four deaths of crypto billionaires within a month’s time gave fuel
to several conspiracy theories among the crypto community. One user
associated the string of deaths with a mafia-style hit job and said
that the “crypto world is taking a page from the mafia handbook.”

Another user associated the death spiral with the “central banking
hierarchy,” sarcastically saying, “I would definitely not put money on
it being connected to the central banking hierarchy. There is no way.
They are very trustworthy. 100% no chance.”

Others questioned the source of the information but did acknowledge
the fact that four deaths in less than a month call for some
suspicion. While a few Redditors also pointed towards the possibility
of faking deaths, where one user wrote, "I wonder how many of these
are people faking their own deaths."

Many Redditors also speculated that these billionaires might be living
under fake names and they are using death to start a new inning in
their life.

The deaths of four crypto billionaires are for sure a cause of
concern, but the crypto ecosystem is known for its fascination with
conspiracy theories. A similar saga erupted in May 2020 when the CEO
of defunct crypto exchange QuadrigaCX mysteriously died during a visit
to India.
