A Russian billionaire named Vyacheslav Taran has died following a mysterious helicopter crash in Monaco last week. Vyacheslav, who was deemed one of the top cryptocurrency traders, was traveling from Switzerland back to his family home on Friday in an Airbus H130, which is considered one of the best aircraft in the world. The helicopter was being flown by an experienced pilot in fair weather, which has left investigators scrambling to piece together evidence to determine what may have led to the fatal incident.
In an official statement by Vyacheslav’s popular investing platform Libertex, they wrote, “It is with great sadness that Libertex Group confirms the death of its co-founder and Chairman of Board of Directors, Vyacheslav Taran, after a helicopter crash that took place en route to Monaco on Friday, 25 November 2022. The Board of Directors of Libertex Group and company employees extend their most heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the Taran family.”

The 53-year-old’s sudden passing comes just weeks after two other wealthy cryptocurrency traders had suddenly died. Crypto founder Tiantian Kullander reportedly passed away “in his sleep” last week, while 29-year-old Nikolai Mushegian was said to have drowned in a pool in Puerto Rico, hours after tweeting that intelligence agencies were going to murder him.
“CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands,” Nikolai tweeted from his official account, per the New York Post. He’d been very vocal about his goals to end global banking corruption prior to his death, which some conspiracy theories now believe may have had something to do with his sudden demise.
“They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex [girlfriend] who was a spy. They will torture me to death,” he continued. Per the report, Nikolai left his home in San Juan shortly after the tweet was posted to take a walk at Ashford Beach, where his body was later discovered floating in the waves.

The crypto enthusiast had passionately told his followers before his death how “evil people” are running the “central bank cartel.” Not to mention, Nikolai alleged he had been threatened before, so his most recent tweet about being killed for what he supposedly knew about the CIA made his death all the more troubling.
CEO of Spankchain, Ameen Soleimani, reacted to Nikolai’s death, which he called a homicide. “My money is on him being murdered,” he wrote on Twitter. “He was found drowned 4 hours after his riskiest tweet ever. He had all year to drown randomly or be mugged, so it seems unlikely that his death was unrelated to his tweet…”
