Cryptodeath.

The London Times reports: 

The death of a Russian billionaire in a helicopter crash in Monaco has prompted speculation over possible sabotage after the sudden deaths of two other cryptocurrency industry leaders in the past month. Vyacheslav Taran, 53, was killed when the helicopter he had chartered... hit a French hillside.... A week earlier Tiantian Kullander, 30, the founder of the Hong Kong-based Amber Group cryptocurrency company, died suddenly “in his sleep”....

Last month Nikolai Mushegian, 29, the crypto-entrepreneur behind the MakerDAO project, drowned in Puerto Rico. He had tweeted that he feared that the CIA, Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service and “paedophiles” were plotting to murder him. “They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex [girlfriend] who was a spy. They will torture me to death,” he tweeted...

We're told of 2 other "cryptocurrency tycoons" who "died unexpectedly," both without passing on the "keys" needed for anyone to access their fortune in cryptocurrency. One was only 30, the other 54. No helicopters involved, just Crohn's disease and drug addiction.

Yep. You bet. Totally a coincidence. Totally. And Jeffry Epstein killed himself. Sure. Yeah.

Enigma म्हणाले...

We still haven't seen the names in Jeffrey Epstein's black book, nor have we learned how sex blackmail may have been used to manipulate finance...

Eyes Wide Shut in the real world.

If you die without passing on the keys, it just increases the value of other currencies. No wealth is lost.

climate change, obviously. "vaccine"-induced sudden death syndrome. collusion theories from original sources.

crypto- 

before vowels crypt-, word-forming element meaning "secret" or "hidden, not evident or obvious," used in forming English words at least since 1760 (crypto-Calvinianism), from Latinized form of Greek kryptos "hidden, concealed, secret" (see crypt; the Greek combining form was krypho-).

i'm SO Glad, that i'm Not a crypto billionaire!
i can count my blessings
Not dying in a perfectly good helicopter, minutes after an associate decided not to ride
Not dying in my sleep at a surprising young age
Not dying of "drug overdose"
Not having to have sex with 'sultry wood nymphs'
And the list just goes on and on

Aren't deaths from Crohn's Disease rare?

If I recall, we had a similar spate of unfortunate accidents in the banking industry here a few years ago. One after another, CEOs of troubled banks met with....accidents. And of course we have the spate of Russian officials that should have learned by now to stay away from windows when they're in multi-story buildings. A cynical person might note the end effects of this style of regulation.

Meanwhile, Dutch farmers have been protesting by driving their tractors on the road and tying up traffic, but it looks like they're still getting their farms seized and liquidated to make room for high rises for immigrants. I wonder if the high rises will have windows.

This is what's known as an 'industry shakeout'. But in the crypto world, it's more like Squid Game.

Time for a remake of Someone Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe set in the crypto world (the film was actually called Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?, but the original title of the book was better, IMHO).

Cryptozoologists study animals that don't exist, like the Loch Ness Monster. So is cryptocurrency money that doesn't exist?

When it comes to Bigfoot and Yeti, though wouldn't you need a cryptoanthropologist?

While there's an element of that mechanism a net zero outcome is highly unlikely...

That's a modern model of equitable and inclusive: there can be only one. Abort.

I was hoping for more defenestrations. I am sorely disappointed.

Ah well. There's always tomorrow and the next financial crash.

Will there be tales from the crypt?
