Questions Swirl After Mysterious Drowning Death Of 41-Year-Old Bitcoin Billionaire<\/h1>\n

A Romanian bitcoin billionaire who died suddenly at the age of 41 has left behind more questions than answers – chief among them; where’s the money?<\/p>\n

41-year-old Mircea Popescu, an\u00a0outspoken figure<\/a>\u00a0and an early adopter of Bitcoin, left behind an estimated $2 billion in bitcoin after reportedly\u00a0drowning off the coast of Costa Rica near Playa Hermosa<\/strong>, according to\u00a0local news<\/a>\u00a0reports, which said that he was “swept away by the current and died on the spot.”<\/p>\n

And while his death has since been confirmed by\u00a0three women<\/a>\u00a0who were reportedly close to him, others have suggested he may have faked his own death.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em>,\u00a0rumors are swirling that Popescu’s family doesn’t have access to his digital assets<\/strong>\u00a0– which, as crypto analyst Alexander Marder of Crypto Briefing notes, could mean that tens of thousands of Bitcoins are ‘off the market.’<\/p>\n

Other Bitcoin watchers have similarly suggested that the reported $2 billion in bitcoin could be lost forever.<\/p>\n

“It looks like that with the deaths of Mircea Popescu and John McAfee a significant amount of $BTC might be lost forever. RIP,” tweeted Marder (though McAfee\u00a0claimed<\/em>\u00a0to have been broke near the time of his death).<\/p>\n
