So you want to be a crypto millionaire?
Fernando Pérez Algaba, apparently a crypto "influancer" (never heard of him), who was missing since mid-June, was found chopped up in a suitcase in Argentina.
Just a daily reminder that flashing your wealth on social media is not necessarily a good idea.

In a world where economic turmoil is effecting every country on a huge scale, this might unfortunately become more common. Thugs will only become more open, desperate and some, may have no choice but to find opportunities like this to set themselves and their family free. If we were in a fair world, each others wealth would be celebrated...but we are not.

You'd have have to be an idiot to flash your wealth when majority of social media users, or population for that matter, are living pay check to pay check at best, counting pennies and watching their loved ones do the same, or worse, like lining up at a food bank. People who otherwise would be living normally if the global economy wasn't the way it was.

Has anyone heard of him? Was he a decent guy, or just another wannabe celebrity?

Never heard of him, but the influencer type are usually cocky, narcissistic and not as charitable as they might portray themselves on camera. If he got himself chopped up, he was either stupid, unconscious of his environment, or connected with bad people. I believe that being chopped up and left in a suitcase is a pretty grim way to go, to have that done to you, it's likely you were either a good person that was unfortunately connected to dangerous people or not such a good person and put yourself in harms way by being connected to dangerous people.

RIP anyway. No matter the discussion or the circumstance, no one deserves to not only die that way or be left in that state.

Probably some of his enemies in the industry or some that he made enemies with in the background. It could also be possible that since he's a dime-a-dozen cryptocurrency influencer, they tried kidnapping him for ransom and then killed him when they found no use for him anymore. It was also said that he is involved in some shady dealings and questionable businesses with some people that might've turned to him owing a large debt to some people like what @Stalker22 has said.

It's not uncommon for these crypto-influencers who used their fame for profit to get what was coming to them, Pleterski just got sacked and kidnapped for $3 million by some of the people who he screwed over with his "crypto" scams and the funny thing is, despite him being the root cause of all this the kidnappers were the ones that got jailed and he's able to run free again without major consequences from his actions, well besides a badly beaten face and a scarring event that should leave him humbled for the rest of his life.

Definitely not the best way to go, but from what I can see from the reports, he was involved in some shady business. Just guessing here, but it is possible he owed a hefty sum to the wrong people. So it is probably not the best thing to brag about your riches and luxurious life on social media when in such a situation.

The only good thing from all of this that I read is that he was shot at least three times before the body was dismembered.

seems he had 900k followers so had some notable fanbase. but it was more of the fiat lifestyle of cars and vacations.. not crypto influencing

he was as quoted by his family as being a simple car salesman that didnt do well on bitcoin

in essence to grabbed money from everywhere he could, car deals he didnt pay suppliers back, gambling loans he didnt pay back and unpaid taxes. and then said all that money disappeared into bad crypto bets.

i wouldnt cast him as a crypto investor id cast his as a fiat loser that lost big in fiat land, where most of his financial hassles and hustles were fiat related, where crypto was the escape rope/excuse for loss

never good to see anyones life end, especially this way, but lets not pigeon hole this as a black mark against crypto, as most of his hustles were fiat related
