The death of a Russian billionaire in a helicopter crash in Monaco has prompted speculation over possible sabotage after the sudden deaths of two other cryptocurrency industry leaders in the past month.
Vyacheslav Taran, 53, was killed when the helicopter he had chartered to fly him from Lausanne hit a French hillside overlooking the Mediterranean at Villefranche-sur-Mer as it was making its approach to the Monaco heliport. The 35-year-old pilot of the Monacair H-130 helicopter, the only other person on board, was also killed in the crash early last Friday afternoon.
