The global cryptocurrency circle is in turmoil and bad news is frequent. The bankruptcy of FTX not only triggered the domino effect, but also many cryptocurrency companies went bankrupt one following another, and the tycoons in the industry even died one following another by coincidence. Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran, co-founder of cryptocurrency trading platforms Libertex and Forex Club, died in a plane crash near Monaco on November 25 in clear weather. Talan is the third person in charge of a currency circle company to die suddenly in the past few weeks. The news has caused speculation and shock from the outside world. However, local police said the case was not suspicious.
According to the “New York Post” report, the 53-year-old Taran took the H130 helicopter from Switzerland to Morocco on the 25th, but it crashed near Villefranche-sur-Mer in France on the way. The pilot died at the scene. The local police stated that the preliminary investigation ruled out the possibility of homicide, but the weather was fine at the time of the incident, and the cause of the accident is still to be clarified, and the negligence of a third party cannot be ruled out.
The British “Mirror” reported that the mechanism involved was experienced, and there was originally a passenger on board that day, but boarding was canceled at the last minute. The online version of the “Daily Mail” also described the helicopter as “mysteriously crashed”.
Talan was the president of Libertex Group, a trading and investment platform, and the founder of Forex Club. Russian media Life reported that Taran had many disgruntled clients and enemies in Russia.
Ukrainian independent media UNIAN quoted Kyiv authorities as saying that Talan had links with Russian federal intelligence agencies. But UNIAN provided no further evidence.
Taran is the cryptocurrency tycoon who died suddenly in the past month. Tiantian Kullander, founder of cryptocurrency investment bank Amber Group, died in his sleep on November 23 at the age of 30; MakerDAO co-founder Nikolai Mushegian met on a beach in Puerto Rico on October 29 Died by drowning at the age of 29. In the currency circle, the heads of companies died one following another, and conspiracy theories have begun to spread on the Internet. However, for these three murders, investigation units in different countries have ruled out the possibility of homicide.
