Who cares about how crypto billionaires die and what is so special in creating a thread like this in the Bitcoin discussion boards, all the names you mentioned are not members of this forum none that we know, so what is the essence of this thread?

After all one day all of us will still die but how we will die is unknown to us all, so what I can say is RIP to all of them.

Interestingly, do you always participate only in those topics where only forum members are discussed?


As a matter of fact there were a lot of Russian billionaires and influential people that died this year.

There's definitely something going on there because they happened to start dying after the sanctions were imposed and the rich begun to criticize the government. Especially a lot of people with connections to Gazprom happened to die.


You're right. I also went to look to see how many deaths had happened recently of people with good capital who were strangely dead. Ten top managers die of suicide or accidents. Another strangely falls out of the window; the other is buried in the river. The death of Vyacheslav Taran will of course be discussed, as the events of recent months encourage people to speculate all over the place, including the murder or even the desire to remain anonymous while faking their death.

I think, when you have so much money.... you do things that might be more dangerous ...than what other people might be doing that has less money. The average person will not Jet Ski around an island or take up sky diving or go to exotic (dangerous) places, that might put then into situations that might be more dangerous than usual.

They might even die of natural causes, because they eat too much of the wrong kind of foods and they might drink too much or use too much drugs. (A lot of poor people do a lot of physical exercise every day as part of their work.... rich people might exercise much less and die from high cholesterol or a weak heart or diabetes complications etc..)  Roll Eyes

A lot of these rich people have very high stress levels.... because they have several businesses or risky investments.

One thing is for sure, if you are fortunate to be so rich to be deemed as a crypto billionaire, it’s a good idea to keep it on the down low, as good as you possibly can. This kind of thing stinks of corruption, some kind of business deal gone wrong, I don’t know.

Tell as few people as possible about your bitcoin/crypto position if you are a millionaire or billionaire. There is too much danger out there, especially in the current financial climate.

Pretty much — not even just as a crypto billionaire, but even just as a decently wealthy person in general, especially when living in the more rural-ish provincial areas.

Although the rich are famous and rich, their life risk factor is much higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, the private jets, vehicles, family residences, and company offices of billionaires have undergone special security treatment, with face recognition and electronic monitoring everywhere. It is still difficult for "criminals" to kill. Regardless of whether a billionaire owns cryptocurrency or not, there will be "criminals" who want to kill him.

It feels like I'm watching a movie when reading the OP's first post.  Grin

It seems to me, this only matters or their death is big deal because they are cryptocurrency billionaires and they have something to do with cryptocurrency.
But for me, some could be here are conspiracy but I also believe that there are some people behind this tragedy to them, maybe something to do with their money but if there is no really proof, I won't believe it. I will consider it as the normal death of a normal person.

An article from news.Bitcoin.com stated that the helecopter crash somewhere in the area of Villefranche-sur-Mer.  I believe the body and the plane had been found but according to the news[1] the cause of the crash is unconfirmed. 

Then the news continues by citing several deaths of company heads, where some of the death are somehow suspicious, like the one that fall out of the window of the hospital
Quote
Lukoil's company Chairman Ravil Maganov, 67, died after reportedly falling out of a window of a Moscow hospital, also in September.

And being drawned after falling off a boat.

Quote
The group includes the 39-year-old Managing Director of Russia’s Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, Ivan Pechorin, who drowned after falling off a boat near Vladivostok on Sept. 10.

Those are indeed suspicious but well, it is not related to the crypto industry, so who cares  Cheesy





[1] https://news.bitcoin.com/russian-billionaire-and-crypto-businessman-dies-in-helicopter-crash-in-france/

I thought they were just suspicious because they were Russian and only one of the people mentioned in the op to do with crypto was Russia so that makes it a bit different.

The Lukoil thing happened just after its joint ownership was confiscated from a European entity too (which I thought made it more significant).

I guess a plane crash in French territory is harder to fake.

If im a billionaire then i would really allocate some budget on having security or buddy guards which would really be always with me or whenever i do go and just like the rest been saying that risk and danger is already
on your side.

And that would really help you if you got into a situation like these people. I'd like to remind you that one of them died in a helicopter crash and the other one died in his sleep. Mircea Popescu that's mentioned by OP drowned while swimming in the sea. I'm sure if they had a bodyguard they'd all be fine Cheesy

In reality every day hundreds of people die. The more bitcoiners there are the more frequent deaths among them will be.
In short, theres no security could help you out on these cases no matter how many it would be which money isnt something that could save you up 100% specially on accidents
like this. Aerial crash? Getting drowned due to some reason? You would definitely die in together with your security.  lol
Its true that if its your time to die then its your time and there's no way for you to avoid it no matter how much money you do have in bank or on your pocket.
Financial status cant really save you up from death.

Death is something we inevitably face, obviously we will never know the reason but it is a sure thing.
The thing is, if the billionaire died from being murdered then things would be very different. We must have heard that billionaires are killed through careful planning, the killers are caught and jailed. Whereas when they become crypto billionaires then what's in it for them as long as the killer can't access their wallet.

Same goes for Bitcoin. In fact, you could say that stealing someone's physical money would be a lot easier than someone's Bitcoin password or private key. Anyway, thought it would be important to establish that this isn't exclusive to cryptocurrencies, and the risk is the same regardless.
The risks are the same, but they can never access the wallet if they don't have the key. Everyone needs to avoid risks, they also need to back up their wallet to keep it safe and better someone needs to think about something like inheritance.

Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran was killed when the helicopter he was traveling in crashed near Monaco. Reports in Ukrainian media have previously alleged that Taran, who was co-founder of trading and investment platform Libertex and foreign exchange trading group Forex Club.

Just last week, the founder of Hong Kong-based digital asset company Amber Group Tiantian Kullander died suddenly in his sleep. The 30-year-old had built the company into a $3 billion ‘fintech unicorn.’

A month before Kullander’s death, MakerDAO developer and crypto millionaire Nikolai Mushegian apparently drowned in Puerto Rico.

Back in July 2021, the crypto industry was rocked by the news that controversial Romanian crypto billionaire Mircea Popescu — also known as ‘the father of bitcoin toxicity‘ — had drowned in Costa Rica.

More details - https://protos.com/russian-billionaire-latest-crypto-tycoon-to-die-mysteriously/

I don't think we can correlate their death to their crypto assets, it is what it is, you can die in your sleep just like the rest of us, or killed in a helicopter crash like Kobe a couple of years ago.

It just so happen that they have billions of crypto by the time of their death that's why it is some tied in.

But death is common to us, whether you are crypto rich or just average joe or not even having a single sat. That is call life.

on your side.You cant really just make yourself that able to avoid when you are on health problems or some accident like drowning, slipping, get crashed by a car or something that do happen naturally.
If its your time then its your time but as much as possible you should really avoid yourself on these risk or hazard. Its true that this isnt only happening on billionaires but all of us humans
where accidents and health issues or safety issue could really happen and this is why making yourself aware on surrounding is a must.

People cant just make themselves not to make out those thinking and brainstorming that this involved some foul play, but it isnt really surprising right? When you do have the money or been known as billionaire

whether here on crypto space or into those typical or usual companies then expect that your life will really be that on danger.Just let those authorities do their job and make out those investigation.

This is why when you do own soo much money then you should really be mindful about security yet you wont know on whose spotting you out and waiting for some opportunity
or even trying to be killed by one of your competition which everything or every angle does impose risks.
Every billionaire out there will be exposed to the same risks, so they have to be careful with their wealth. I tend to see billionaires leaving their hometowns and migrating to safer countries or cities just to increase the security of their lives from threats, these are not just crypto billionaires but almost every other billionaire.

But in crypto, one has to keep their financial privacy safe and never flaunt it anywhere. Threats will always be lurking, people need money and they will do anything for it.

You can imagine your situation when your wealth is in the billions and the keys to that wealth lie in your computer or on your hard disk. You will have nightmares and every bad scenario will come to your mind, especially if you do not have the technical qualifications to understand it. These are the fears that banks exploit to deduct part of your money in return for guarding and preserving it, in addition to giving up your privacy almost completely because it cannot carry out its tasks for the benefit of unknown people.
That is the tax of wealth. This is supposed to be an incentive for those wealthy people to develop their knowledge and technical skills in order to at least protect their money.

Various conspiracy theories aside — not sure what's so special about this? People die all the time of random causes, and yes — including billionaires.

Even if it there was merit to the conspiracies (which I'm not alluding too) anyone with a lot of money, and are publicly known for that could be at risk. It's not specifically because they're invested in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Since, most people who are rich tend to have nice houses, and cars, and whatever other luxury items it's generally quite well known when you've got money.

Same goes for Bitcoin. In fact, you could say that stealing someone's physical money would be a lot easier than someone's Bitcoin password or private key. Anyway, thought it would be important to establish that this isn't exclusive to cryptocurrencies, and the risk is the same regardless.

I don’t think this is limited to just crypto billionaires. Mysterious things happen to extremely wealthy individuals all the time. Lottery winners for example are some of the most murdered people on the planet. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that would do anything for money no matter who they hurt, and billionaires tend to have enough valuables on their person to make life dangerous for them around opportunists.

Death is something natural, every living thing must die, so its not new for billionaires to die but I don't think its is related to crypto, billionaires can do so many kind of things to secure their wealth and will always have a rival that wants them dead so that he can reign.

If they are dying by drowning,then let billionaires not put jacuzzi in their compound maybe these will prevent their untimely death. People die everyday just the way children are given birth to everyday but we do hear about the billionaires death because they are public figures. Sometimes the information about their death is false,they might have died through a different way.

As a billionaire, you can't have a normal death, no matter how you die people will always find fault with something and claim it was a set-up.

A few years ago I was at a party with a few of my old colleagues and friends all happening at our host's father who is the local representative for the leading party, everyone was having a fun time, dancing and so on, he managed to step on the dress of his daughter, and missed the side of the table with his head by a few cm when he fell. Everyone at that moment agreed including him (while laughing), no way that if something bad would have happened would outsiders believe the story of him dying like that, for sure it must have been an assassination.

Billionaire dying in a car crash? No way, all of them have f1 skills! Billionaire dying in a plane crash? No billionaire can die falling from 1 mile in the sky, dying from disease? We all know billionaires are mutants that can't catch any diseases! You have hundreds of teenagers dying after falling from a building or electrocuted on a train taking selfies but now way a billionaire the same age would die trying to go on a late swimming after smoking pot all night.
Of course, that changes in Russia, where a lot commit suicide by stabbing themselves in the back 20 times after falling from the 5th floor of a two stories high building.

This dude made me laugh.  Grin
Obviously he is so true about the incidences being claimed as conspiracy theories. I mean there is no way billionaire can die that easy considering they have lot of money to take care of. But someone will always find a way to kill them so that they can have all of their properties and money in their names.

Obviously that is an absolute joke mate. All we are doing is flogging a dead horse here. It's meaningless to discuss the deaths of billionaires. The point is they are gone and they left pretty heavy stash behind them which by default will get inherited to their decedent's (surprisingly they could be the one writing those conspiracy theories Wink)
