CriptoFácil – Fernando Pérez Algaba, a crypto entrepreneur and owner of a luxury car rental company, was found dead and dismembered in Argentina last week.

The remains of Algaba, who had been reported missing on July 19, were discovered inside a suitcase in Ingeniero Budge, province of Buenos Aires.

The autopsy revealed that Algaba had been shot before being mutilated, leading authorities to suspect that the job was done by professionals due to the precision of the cuts.

Buenos Aires police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the mysterious death of Algaba, who was known in his circle as a prosperous cryptocurrency operator and had an office in the Argentine capital with a staff of 25 employees.

In addition to his cryptocurrency involvement, Algaba ran a luxury car and jet ski rental business in Miami before moving to Barcelona in 2023.

However, despite the apparent success, Algaba appeared to be beset with financial problems. His company, Motors Lettuce SRL, began issuing bad checks less than a year after its creation in 2018, resulting in a debt considered “irrevocable” with the Argentine tax agency.

Algaba is also believed to have had problems with the local Barra Bravas gang, who demanded a $40,000 loan from him.

While the motive behind Algaba’s murder remains unclear, authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with the case.

The Algaba tragedy follows a series of crypto-related deaths that occurred in 2022, including the death of Amber Group co-founder Tiantian Kullander, who reportedly passed away in his sleep, and billionaire cryptocurrency entrepreneur Vyacheslav Taran, who died in an accident. by helicopter.

The investigation is ongoing and authorities are determined to unravel Algaba’s mysterious death. Cryptocurrency investors, traders and enthusiasts are advised to take precautions to ensure their personal and financial safety.
