Crypto Billionaires are dying: 3 Reasons why it may not be a coincidence

Crypto billionaires are dying. Between the dates of October 28th and November 25th, three Crypto entrepreneurs have died due to unforeseen tragedies. Four if you count Javier Biosca, who was not a billionaire. He apparently threw himself off the fifth floor of a hotel in Estepona. This of course happened after he was bailed out of prison by an anonymous benefactor. His bail by the way was $1 million Euros. 

Biosca was accused of running the largest Cryptocurrency scam in Spanish history. Making off with over 500 million euros and scamming over 750 investors. He was never found guilty however as he died before he could go back to court. Interestingly enough, the money he had been accused of taking has yet to be recovered as well. He spent nearly nine months in prison before being bailed out. Odd to say the least. 

His story gets a lot less press than the other recent deaths because of his criminal charges and lack of billionaire status, however, we mentioned him here because like the other three, the circumstances surrounding his death are questionable. His death is also smack in the middle of the timeline we are about to dive into. He died just a day before 30-year-old Tiantian Kullander failed to awake from his sleep. Coincidence? We leave that for you to decide.

A War on Crypto

In 2019 we proposed that the US didn’t want cryptocurrency. Since then, things have begun to take a dark turn. 

In September a statement by former US comptroller (accounting and finance professional) Eugene Ludwig called for banks to “retake the turf,” like a shot-caller would tell their gang when new competition encroached on their territory. Since this statement, 3 Crypto billionaires have died suddenly under mysterious circumstances. 

First, There is Nikolai Mushegian. The 29-year-old Crypto billionaire drowned on a beach in Puerto Rico on October 28th. His death came just hours after he tweeted that the CIA and Mossad were trying to kill him. (insert Tweet). He also believed his ex-girlfriend was a spy sent to plant incriminating evidence in his home.

Next, there is Tiantian Kullander. The 30-year-old Crypto King of Hong Kong died suddenly in his sleep on November 23. His death comes shortly after his company, Amber Group, was awarded a $3 billion dollar evaluation.

Lastly, we have Vyacheslav Taran. This Russian Billionaire died in a helicopter crash during optimum flying conditions with an experienced pilot. His death comes on the heels of reports that he had made several enemies in Russia due to ‘ripping them off in day-to-day business dealings. Crypto has become very important in Russia due to its attacks on Ukraine. Sanctions by Europe and the US on Russia have devalued the rubel dramatically.

3 Crypto Billionaires are dead. Why so much speculation?

These deaths have sparked numerous conspiracy theories on social media and it’s not hard to see why. The odds of 3 billionaires inside the same industry dying in unrelated accidents are astronomical. But anything is possible, right? 

So why do so many find it hard to believe that there is more to the story than what is being released? More importantly, who and why would crypto billionaires be targets of such cloak-and-dagger assassinations? There are threads of theories that link together that make a lot of sense. Alas, Thrive Indie is not a blog of conspiracies. To dive down that rabbit hole I suggest you start with this video. 

At about, the 3-minute mark is when things get dark. Human trafficking and pedophilia dark.

What I will do is go over the top three reasons people think there is a larger conspiracy at play. 

Their Succes in Crypto threatened the Fiat currency system

Back in 2019, I wrote about the possibility that the US did not want crypto to succeed.

“A lot of the US’s international Power comes from the fact that the US Dollar is the standard of international finance and transaction.” – Congressman Brad Sherman on his call to ban bitcoin.

The government can control banks and bitcoin doesn’t need a bank to work effectively. Bitcoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that only needs the parties involved in the transaction to go smoothly. For this precise reason, governments want to avoid Bitcoin from becoming mainstream. 

“Control over currency has many downstream impacts, perhaps most notably to a nation’s fiscal policy, business environment, and efforts to control crime. While each of these topics is broad and deep enough to fill volumes, a brief overview is enough to provide insight into the general concept.” –Investopedia

Cryptocurrencies threaten how much control current government institutions have over — well just about everything…

Information on corrupt government operations

The video I posted above goes more in-depth on this situation but I will touch on it here. Nikoli Mushegian who drowned in Puerto Rico posted this tweet the same day he died.

In this tweet, he implied that the US government (CIA) and the secret intelligence service of Israel (Mossad) are complacent in human trafficking rings in order to blackmail upper-echelon members of society to do their bidding. 

Needless to say, these are very dark waters. To some, this might seem far-fetched, but when we think about the CIA’s involvement in the Contra drug trafficking in the 80s it becomes less hard to believe. In the 80’s Cocaine trafficking in the US was close to a $30 billion dollar industry. Human trafficking estimated global profits today is around $150 billion. Need I say more?

Organized Criminal Organizations

More than a few Crypto entrepreneurs over the years have wound up dead or MIA after dealing in shady business with criminal organizations. Remember Mr. Biosca who jumped off the 5th floor of his hotel? Reports say that he was in deep debt with the Mafia. Luis Monje, who is currently under investigation for being Biosca’s frontman for the operation, met with criminal elements just hours before Biosca’s death. The helicopter victim, Taran, had also made many enemies with Russian criminals because of shady business practices. 

Cryptocurrency and money laundering have a storied history. “With crypto, money launderers may move the illicit funds through hundreds of wallets before depositing the funds and cashing out the funds at a crypto exchange. Unlike bank accounts, thousands of wallets may be opened without proof of identity, within seconds.” – Katherine A. Lemire, Reuters.com

We are not accusing

The fact is that we just don’t know. It could all be a coincidence. But to this author, everything seems just a bit… Odd.
