Bitcoin billionaire Mircea Popescu dead, leaving $2B fortune in limbo
NY Post
Controversial Bitcoin billionaire Mircea Popescu, 41, has suddenly died, leaving behind a massive crypto fortune that could be worth as much as $2 billion — and which some speculate could be lost forever.
Popescu, known to be among the largest individual holders of Bitcoin in the world at one point, drowned last week off the coast of Costa Rica near Playa Hermosa after going for a morning swim, according to local news reports. Popescu was reportedly “swept away by the current and died on the spot.”More Related News
