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 clash

Taran, 53, was flying from Switzerland to Morocco in an H130 helicopter when it crashed near Villefranche-sur-Mer on Sunday. Initial investigations have ruled out foul play, but the weather was good and local police said third-party negligence is not excluded. The cause of the crash remains to be determined.

According to the France Bleu radio network, the Russian billionaire and the helicopters French pilot both were killed in the clash.

Who is Vyacheslav Taran?

Vyacheslav Taran is a Russian crypto billionaire who had been living in Monaco for a long time. Taran was president of Libertex Group, a trading and investment platform, and the founder of Forex Club. Forex Club is a forex trading platform in Russia and it is one of the three top forex trading platforms in Russia.

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.
