The crypto industry has had a lot of difficulties in 2022. It has not only been cascading bankruptcies and prices that constantly dig into the charts.
A helicopter crash
On November 28, Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran, 53, died in a helicopter crash. The accident took place near the seaside resort of Villefranche-sur-Mer, as the billionaire traveled to Monaco from Lausanne, Switzerland. According Radio France Blue, the accident occurred in good weather. We learn that the French authorities have opened an investigation. Our source also indicates that they did not indicate the possibility of foul play. It is important to note that the 35-year-old pilot also lost his life in the accident. The information has been confirmed by the Russian Embassy in Paris.
Vyacheslav Taran was a co-founder of ForexClub, a group of companies involved in the retail Forex market. The Group also has Libertex, a company in the crypto value chain, which also provides financial education services.
Crypto firm Libertex posted a tweet to bring the news to members of its community. “It is with great sadness that Libertex Group confirms the death of its co-founder and Chairman of the Board, Vyacheslav Taran, after a helicopter crash”.
The Forex Club company is a benchmark in the global foreign exchange market. She had her license to operate in Russia revoked in 2018, for allegedly defrauding investors.
Third crypto personality to die in the span of a month
The crypto billionaire thus becomes the third industry figure to have lost his life in November 2022. The first was Nikolai Mushegian, 29 and co-founder of MakerDAO. If the conditions of his death remain unclear, we know that he has tweeted about 4 hours before his death he was being chased by CIA and Mossad agents.
The second was Tiantian Kullander, a 30-year-old crypto trader, “died in his sleep” last week. His company Amber is valued at more than $3 billion and offered crypto-finance services among other things.
2022 is undoubtedly a tough year for the crypto industry. Prices spent most of the year in the red. Several companies went bankrupt and created a domino effect, which is still going on today. As if that weren’t enough, the industry lost three of its biggest figures in the space of a month.
