Fernando Perez Algaba had been staying in Argentina for a week before his alleged murder.
Fernando Perez Algaba, the cryptocurrency influencer from Argentina who had been missing for more than a week, was found dead on Wednesday. Police found Mr Algaba's remains inside a suitcase near a stream in Argentinian capital Buenos Aires, according to New York Post. The grisly case came to light after a group of children found the red suitcase filled with body parts while playing by the stream on Sunday, the outlet further said. The entrepreneur was missing since July 19. Quoting local media, the Post said that the children's parents informed the police who inspected the package and found Mr Algaba's legs and forearms. His other arm was found in the stream.
On Wednesday, the police found the missing head and torso.
They said the body parts were cleanly amputated, suggesting the work of a professional, as per the outlet.
The police sent the body for autopsy and the report revealed that Mr Algaba was shot three times before his body was chopped up.
They were able to identify Mr Algaba by his fingerprints and the distinctive tattoos on the body parts.
As per a Marca report, the self-made billionaire was based in Barcelona, where he shifted from Miami. He had been staying in Argentina for a week before his alleged murder.
Mr Algaba accumulated his wealth by renting luxury vehicles and selling cryptocurrency and flaunted his lavish lifestyle to almost one million followers on Instagram.
The influencer had rented an apartment and was supposed to return the keys on July 19, but failed to show up and sis not answer the phone after which a missing complaint was filed by the property owner, according to the outlet.
Post a comment The police have arrested one person in connection with Mr Algaba's death and are investigating why he was killed. They, however, suspect that he was killed over his numerous debts.
Russians? Probably not. More likely Sicilians.
LOL!!
Was he paddleboarding?
You when he had a head..
So this wasn’t the evil FTX scum, yet.
“Fernando Perez Algaba had been staying in Argentina for a week before his alleged murder.”
As opposed to he committed suicide and chopped himself up and scattered around all the parts.
Crypto creeps me out.
This “influencer” thing is some sort of millennial/gen-z social media/masturbation site thing?
Not care in the slightest, but keep seeing references to it.
Reminds me of....
Fernando: “Part of me is over here! And part of me is over there!
Tin Man: “Well that’s just you all over!”
it was either some REALLY P.O.ed punter who got ripped off by this guy and/or someone who REALLY wanted this guy’s seed phrases ...
All of crypto is a money laundering fraud.. there isn’’T a better system invented to launder money than this crap.. sounds like this guy’s “family” took objection to some of his actions, or he got too big for his britches….
Suicide.Fer sure!
Nicely played
Do you ever get tired of replying in all capitals? It is very rude.
LOL. I shouldn’t find humor in this, but these cryptocurrency people seem to swim in some shady waters.
It won’t be hard piecing his parts back together with those nice puzzle-piece clues all over his skin.
So many bodies found in suitcases. Makes no sense to do that (ok, to do any of this) because the minute it’s found someone is going to open it and then it’s game on to find the killer.
Aside from that, I wonder how he liked Argentina? He must have stiffed the wrong people.
