Abstract: The Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran has died due to a mysterious helicopter crash on Nov 25.

According to the Daily Mail, the Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran has died due to a mysterious helicopter crash. The reason why we called it “mysterious” is that the clash took place in good weather. As we know so far, another passenger is scheduled to fly on board but canceled last minute before the helicopter took off. The death of Vyacheslav Taran has put a shadow over the entire Forex and crypto industry.

The shadow lingering on FX and the crypto industry
Taran is the third crypto billionaire who died mysteriously in the month. Before his death, Tiantian Kullander, co-founder of Amber Group, a cryptocurrency investment bank, died in his sleep on Nov. 23, aged 30; MakerDAO co-founder Nikolai Mushegian was 29 when he drowned at a beach in Puerto Rico on Oct. 29. Conspiracy theories have been circulating on the Internet about the deaths of a series of business leaders, but investigators in different countries have ruled out foul play in all three cases. In any case, the series of bizarre times of death has also dealt a huge blow to FX and the crypto industry.
