The finance world has been rocked by the sudden and unexpected death of a young crypto founder at the age of just 30.

Tiantian Kullander, the co-founder of Hong Kong-based digital asset company Amber Group, died in his sleep on November 23, with the news confirmed on the company’s website “with the deepest sadness and a heavy heart”.

Kullander, known affectionately as “TT,” launched Amber in 2017 with a group of finance insiders, including former Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley workers.

Before that, he worked as a trader at both finance giants, and in 2019 earned a coveted spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, which recognizes the most talented ​​emerging entrepreneurs and leaders.

Earlier this year, the start-up reached a staggering $3 billion valuation after scoring a $200 million funding round.

Earlier this month, it was revealed the company was in the process of raising around $100 million, with the firm describing him as “instrumental to the founding of Amber and a pillar of our success.”

Kind of feels like, one way or another, all family business is being settled. By somebody.

“Unexpectedly dead” is kind of weird phasing.

He would have died harder, if he wasn’t vaccinated.

I think 23 of them were vaccinated, so 7 are left.

(just kidding, but...)

Have you noticed how easily these kids slide from “finance” to crypto-grifting?

Makes me wonder if “finance” isn’t just a fancy word for legalized theft.

I get the feeling there is going to be some serious crypto hijinx in the next few months as the US attempts to unveil their own version of cryptocurrency.

This is like a bad spy movie.
