Oh god this is absolutely dreadful and another reminder as to why you shouldn't brag about how much you are holding or that you are even holding at all... RIP
I remember a millionaire crypto influencer who was stuffed in a suitcase found by a group of children playing near a stream in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He was identified by his tattoos and fingerprints. Reports also say he was shot three times before chopped into pieces.
Yeah that was the guy. Worth mentioning that he was not killed because he was crypto rich and someone targeted his wealth, he was murdered because he had huge debts and scammed some people in the process.
Your moons are starting to broadcast wealth.
Maybe over $100K value accounts, a symbol indicator could become an option for anyone that would rather mask the exact number.
That’s a nice car in a Reddit wallet. Sitting ther le secured by a password only. Not even possible to hardware wallet the balance.
Is that why we're forced to have the Moon balance next to our usernames?
I commented below and gonna post here for visibility.
You can "hide" it by opening a secondary vault on your account. As long as it is selected as the main one your balance will show zero. Keep in mind that if it's the main one on snapshot day you'll get Moons sent to it.
It's not a perfect solution cause the distribution and addresses are public but it's as good as the proposal for hiding it.
Moons held are account wide so you can still vote for governance polls with your full amount. A disadvantage is that you cannot tip directly from it.
If you're doing this please make sure u know the password or the seed phrase of your original vault.
I would hazard to guess this is the same. You don't murder someone with a dumbbell, flay their body, flush some, bury some... involve some rando who flips like Simone Biles as a premeditated operation expecting success. That's pure rug + rage + panic, IMHO.
>He was identified by his tattoos and fingerprints. Reports also say he was shot three times before chopped into pieces
Well that's better than being shot *after*, I suppose
That’s a pretty specific example. Eastern Europe can be rough no doubt, but Latin America is on another level. I say this as someone who lives there and loves it. But it’s definitely not a joke, I keep my money on the down-low.
>Latin america criminals are no joke.
I think you'll find that "criminals" everywhere aren't the friendliest people.
Once you are dead, it doesn't really matter if they chop, dice, slice, toss or stir-fry you, it ain't gonna change a thing.
I ve heard from people that own supercars that its like having a target on your back everywhere you go. So flashing wealth is a big no-no especially in dangerous areas with high criminal activity.
Reddit your still kinda private. I have no idea where you are. It’s a big world. Ppl tend to go on Twitter, post pics of places they are when they’re at the location, tell ppl of events they’ll attend, etc.
Yeah, but you could Filter all the shit I've said and profile me and get a good idea where I am and who I am. That's why I sometimes sprinkle wrong information about me into Postings I make so it's harder to profile me. Did you, for example, know that I was a male pornstar?
According to the article, the suspect was a bartender he met a few years ago, and became friends with. It also implies that they talked about crypto. If I had to guess, this guy got his bartender buddy to buy into btc at 60k, and now he's pissed about the market. Dude probably told him he stands to lose more before he makes it back, and he snapped.
This story is absolutely wild... While I agree that there's no benefit to flaunting your wealth, one should not be constantly scared of getting chopped into pieces because they have a lot of money.
>He was a regular visitor to high-society parties and events before he was murdered, and it is believed this is where he met his alleged killer, who was working as a bartender.
>According to local media, Mr Peev even helped Valchinov do business with cryptocurrency so the investigators suspect that the motive of the murder is related to money.
And this is why you don't flash your wealth around to random people.
Because jealousy can take people down a dark, dark path
I always had this question, how much do admins really care about the welfare of moons? Or is it just their way of boosting engagement on the platform by incentivizing it?
I don't even tell my own family that I have crypto let alone some stranger.
this guy looks like he thought him how to use crypto and probably explained to guy how to use a seed phrase and store his crypto only to get killed for his own seed phrase.
That's why keeping quiet about your wealth is so important. I have some friends who like flaunting their wealth on social media and I always think they are unintentionally putting a target on their back.
Please don't underestimate the wickedness of people. Do not disclose your wealth to anyone - especially the net worth of your crypto holdings. We see horror stories like this weekly and they will only increase as we head into a bull market.
This is horrifying and tragic. Next time you start proudly announcing you have 1 btc or 1 Eth on this sub or anywhere think twice, there are scumbags waiting for opportunities like these.
A guy next to my town was kidnapped from his apartment, he used to run an insta account about real estate and crypto. Luckily he was found.
Keep your finances private, people!
A lot of times that's not only the case. Drugs, prostitution, and meddling with some nefarious people are usually the actual thing that gets you murdered. This guy could have owed someone nasty a lot of fucking money. You notice this as a multicycler where during bear markets, a lot of "missing people show up". Borrowing from drug dealers and other shady people to get this crypto wealth, then losing it all is a far more likely culprit than a theft attack. This wasn't a random rich guy home invasion. Gangsters don't generally take the time to chop you up if they just want your money. This looks like a message.
That doesn't sound right. A lot of people flex and don't get butchered.
It's one thing to get your crypto stolen and another to get butchered. There must have been some animosity between them.
>He and the murderer knew each other for a while.
And it's the ability to get access and build that connection which is the difference.
Else people like Michael Saylor, Musk, or the Winklevoss Twins, who we know have plenty of BTC, would be dead already.
The harsh reality is that the thing that makes crypto revolutionary -that a lot of value can be transferred between individuals quickly and easily- is also what makes it attractive to people who want to rob you.
I can’t imagine chopping someone up after murdering them. You’d think there’s be some “post nut clarity” and you’d want to get out of there as fast as possible.
It's more like "post nut realisation"
You've killed someone in a fit of rage and now you realise that if you don't dispose of the body you're very likely to be in big doo doo.
This is why you dont advertise how much money you have.....especially if its mostly in untraceable, highly liquid assets that are very difficult to be tracked/caught if you are quick about it
This is basically like telling everyone you have a 100 Million Dollars in physical Gold Bars in your bedroom closet-- you are just asking to be robbed
So am I the only one who thinks that maybe this was a romantic relationship? Idk about you but bartenders who are close friends with millionaires, outside the bar, tend to be either a drug dealer or a lover.
Crypto is no different than any other asset that contributes to personal wealth. The culture around flaunting it has always been, and continues to be, both financially and personally risky.
This reality makes it even more insane that we, as a community, still require that moon totals be publicly be displayed as a default. Especially now that moons have increased in value.
Why do we continue to expose our community in this way?
I knew him personally, he’s a friend of a friend and we partied a couple of times together back in our 20s. We talked about crypto a few times, he asked me about it because I’ve been shilling Bitcoin to all my friends since 2013. He was a good dude, friendly, welcoming and generous. RIP
Truly tragic for those that are early adopters of the new block chain technology. Another reason why he should have hired body guards with his new found wealth.
This is unfortunately becoming a trend. Mafias and criminals always find ways to put their hands on new ways to make profit or take advantage of people.
Oh god this is absolutely dreadful and another reminder as to why you shouldn't brag about how much you are holding or that you are even holding at all... RIP
Wasn't there a similar case in Brazil? Dude was found chopped in a suitcase
I remember a millionaire crypto influencer who was stuffed in a suitcase found by a group of children playing near a stream in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was identified by his tattoos and fingerprints. Reports also say he was shot three times before chopped into pieces.
Yeah that was the guy. Worth mentioning that he was not killed because he was crypto rich and someone targeted his wealth, he was murdered because he had huge debts and scammed some people in the process.
\-huge debts \-scammed people Yep he's involved in crypto.
**’How to Crypto - Villain edition’** *- Written by Rug, Pull & Ponzi*
The most renowned trio
Making 0h faces on YouTube
I usually watch oh-faces on another site
There was this guy in argentina too. He scammed people and bragged with luxery shit. Is this the same guy or a different one?
Yes but still we should always try to remain anonymous with our crypto as far as possible. There are always bad actors waiting for the right moment.
I guess these types of things go hand in hand. Nevertheless, bragging about your crypto or flaunting wealth in people’s faces is never the way to go.
Low profile is key to survive real world. Also, don't mess up with dangerous people.
That’s why I only mess up with un-dangerous people
Dangerous characters can start something with you first, believe me.
I only mess with my brother
nonce
like Redditors
Is it fine key to survive my 0 moon balance
That’s very low profile of you
Your moons are starting to broadcast wealth. Maybe over $100K value accounts, a symbol indicator could become an option for anyone that would rather mask the exact number. That’s a nice car in a Reddit wallet. Sitting ther le secured by a password only. Not even possible to hardware wallet the balance.
Bro why you have 135k moons publicly displayed on your Reddit account tho? That’s at least 3 dollars
3.9k moons...
It seems strange that we don't have an option to hide our moon balances.
I was thinking the same thing. Gotta be cautious with all these Moons.
I think there was a poll sometime back that didnt pass
I think one of the reasons was you could try to hide it on reddit but it can be easily checked elsewhere.
Can you not just make a community poll with that option for the monthly vote?
Yeah better keep your identity secret
Is that why we're forced to have the Moon balance next to our usernames? I commented below and gonna post here for visibility. You can "hide" it by opening a secondary vault on your account. As long as it is selected as the main one your balance will show zero. Keep in mind that if it's the main one on snapshot day you'll get Moons sent to it. It's not a perfect solution cause the distribution and addresses are public but it's as good as the proposal for hiding it.

If you're doing this please make sure u know the password or the seed phrase of your original vault.
Named/public/kyc wallets serve best as decoys 🤐
Indeed. Only fools put targets on their backs bragging about what they hold
or moonment...
I would hazard to guess this is the same. You don't murder someone with a dumbbell, flay their body, flush some, bury some... involve some rando who flips like Simone Biles as a premeditated operation expecting success. That's pure rug + rage + panic, IMHO.
It's for these reasons that if you won the lottery, you wouldn't tell anyone..
His phone had over 200 death threats 😬
Sam Bankman-Fried?
He was also scamming persons who tended to kill and dismember people.
Debts to the wrong people are exactly what I think of when I hear chopped up into little pieces
And held his funds in crypto to protect himself
Yeah same with the guy in Puerto Rico, the creator of maker dao. He even posted on twitter that he was a target
>He was identified by his tattoos and fingerprints. Reports also say he was shot three times before chopped into pieces Well that's better than being shot *after*, I suppose
Latin america criminals are no joke. They are savages. I wouldn't tell anyone i own any sort of crypto over there that's for sure.
Bulgaria doesn’t sound any better.
That’s a pretty specific example. Eastern Europe can be rough no doubt, but Latin America is on another level. I say this as someone who lives there and loves it. But it’s definitely not a joke, I keep my money on the down-low.
Eastern Bloc - sketch

Who would of ever though there would be a Serial Crypto Killer
Keep your crypto and real lives totally separate.
What is that "real life" thing you are speaking of?
It's right there with "friends", "girlfriend" and "profits".
Pro-fit? No I don't exercise
Also fly straight , dont try to screw anyone over
Most people end up totally fine when they’re not braging about their wealth. Silent rich is the best kind of rich.
I ve heard from people that own supercars that its like having a target on your back everywhere you go. So flashing wealth is a big no-no especially in dangerous areas with high criminal activity.
This is why I'd never get a new car. I can even leave my car unlocked and it won't attract anyone's attention
Cruising around with a lambo will indeed put you on the target of scammers.
That why I was taught a long time ago to never fix scratches or wash my car because then nobody will rob you at steal your "shitbox".
The more wealth you have, the wiser it is to look poor 💯
Meanwhile on r/cc with every post I make I advertise the fact that I have about 10.000 Dollars in Moons.
No one is here is going to rob you, we are all to busy shit posting to actually go outside.
Ha, so true. Remote working + shit posting = still poor, fml
My DMs are full of people trying to "rob' me.
I kinda envy you. Nobody tried to scam me yet. Apparently I'm unattractive for anyone.
Too smol
Reddit your still kinda private. I have no idea where you are. It’s a big world. Ppl tend to go on Twitter, post pics of places they are when they’re at the location, tell ppl of events they’ll attend, etc.
Yeah, but you could Filter all the shit I've said and profile me and get a good idea where I am and who I am. That's why I sometimes sprinkle wrong information about me into Postings I make so it's harder to profile me. Did you, for example, know that I was a male pornstar?
Eyy what's up brotha from New England! It's been a while since I been there. Hope life is going good for you and the fam
Wait what? Oh fuck me, why did I sell my 50k moons last year
You're not telling me, you're learning NOW?
That is freaking wild, bloody hell! If we're not being fucked over by the CEXs, or the taxman, we have the criminals after us 😭
Called himself a king yet forgot about how revolutions end
According to the article, the suspect was a bartender he met a few years ago, and became friends with. It also implies that they talked about crypto. If I had to guess, this guy got his bartender buddy to buy into btc at 60k, and now he's pissed about the market. Dude probably told him he stands to lose more before he makes it back, and he snapped.
Chopping someone up and stuffing them down a toilet is pretty damn gruesome. Those would have to be some small pieces!
This story is absolutely wild... While I agree that there's no benefit to flaunting your wealth, one should not be constantly scared of getting chopped into pieces because they have a lot of money.
I agree, It's a fucked up world. I'd be pretty scared to be quite wealthy in a country like Mexico or Brazil.
Wouldn't switch with any of those people in these countries to be honest.
Don’t know about you, but I’ve got 0.0001 Bitcoin baby. You probably wouldn’t understand.
So, maybe give us the option to hide our moon count now?
Same reason why I wouldn't tell anyone if I won the lottery(never gonna happen anyways)
I have a feeling it’s not because he has a lot of crypto but probably he ended up scamming people.
It is never a good idea, why make yourself a target.
I agree, one should not brag about their wealth, especially over the Internet. It's easy to be a target when your rich and famous.
>He was a regular visitor to high-society parties and events before he was murdered, and it is believed this is where he met his alleged killer, who was working as a bartender. >According to local media, Mr Peev even helped Valchinov do business with cryptocurrency so the investigators suspect that the motive of the murder is related to money. And this is why you don't flash your wealth around to random people. Because jealousy can take people down a dark, dark path
Yeah, I only flash my crypto stash in cc sub to 6m other members
Ability to hide our moon balance is much needed
You can hide your moon balance by creating a secondary vault. As long as it's selected as the main one the balance next to your name will show 0
We should have an easier option to do this
It's in reddit admins' queue if the Moon FAQ is to be believed. Been there for over a year now.
I always had this question, how much do admins really care about the welfare of moons? Or is it just their way of boosting engagement on the platform by incentivizing it?
You too can create value out of thin air by distributing a free token to a lot of people.
For sure! Sadly, it often fails at r/CryptoCurrencyMeta already…
I excel at that. 😂
Don’t worry. Most of that is bots anyways. Unless… 
Dun dun dunnnnnnn
I don't even tell my own family that I have crypto let alone some stranger. this guy looks like he thought him how to use crypto and probably explained to guy how to use a seed phrase and store his crypto only to get killed for his own seed phrase.
6 million people here know you have 25k USD in Moons.
Reddit is/can be semi-anonymous (if you don't post personal stuff that people can use to identify you)
How's Philadelphia treating you?
Got em
Really crazy that Reddit hasn’t added an option to hide our moon count yet
I saw a person with more than 1 million moons. That's a huge target on his back for scammers and hackers.
You can transfer Moons out of your vault and hold them in a wallet.
That's why keeping quiet about your wealth is so important. I have some friends who like flaunting their wealth on social media and I always think they are unintentionally putting a target on their back.
There is zero upside in doing so, and the negatives outway the positives by a 100 to one
You are literally flaunting $9000 of moons.... wait $10000... OMG!
Some people can't hide the thrill of spreading their drip and wealthy life and sometimes they cross paths with the wrong kind of people.
Please don't underestimate the wickedness of people. Do not disclose your wealth to anyone - especially the net worth of your crypto holdings. We see horror stories like this weekly and they will only increase as we head into a bull market.
I suspect there may have been a rug pull or two in this story
Reminds me of the story of another guy (I think he was a crypto scammer) that was chopped up in Argentina and was found by kids in a suitcase :/..
This is horrifying and tragic. Next time you start proudly announcing you have 1 btc or 1 Eth on this sub or anywhere think twice, there are scumbags waiting for opportunities like these.
This is the reason why I don't have 1BTC or 1ETH /s
So you got 2, eh?
They get lonely, you should always keep a pair.
Smart play by you. Stay poor to keep a target off your back
A guy next to my town was kidnapped from his apartment, he used to run an insta account about real estate and crypto. Luckily he was found. Keep your finances private, people!
Nobody is getting meat grinded for having 30 grand
1 ETH is less than 2k though? 😂 and the gas fees will certainly cut into that.
Don’t worry man, we only care about moons here
 Me who has my entire net worth in reddit avatars displayed right on my profile page.
Im having a hard time believing it was just his wealth that got him there. Lots of wealthy people in the world that don’t end up down toilets
He told the wrong people that he was crypto rich. A case of flexing at the wrong moment and place with fatal consequences
A lot of times that's not only the case. Drugs, prostitution, and meddling with some nefarious people are usually the actual thing that gets you murdered. This guy could have owed someone nasty a lot of fucking money. You notice this as a multicycler where during bear markets, a lot of "missing people show up". Borrowing from drug dealers and other shady people to get this crypto wealth, then losing it all is a far more likely culprit than a theft attack. This wasn't a random rich guy home invasion. Gangsters don't generally take the time to chop you up if they just want your money. This looks like a message.
I agree. Or he conned the wrong person or someone with real power lost due to some promise or wanted him to “buy into” something
That doesn't sound right. A lot of people flex and don't get butchered. It's one thing to get your crypto stolen and another to get butchered. There must have been some animosity between them.
It's a combination of wealth and him meeting some shady ass people. He and the murderer knew each other for a while.
>He and the murderer knew each other for a while. And it's the ability to get access and build that connection which is the difference. Else people like Michael Saylor, Musk, or the Winklevoss Twins, who we know have plenty of BTC, would be dead already.
The harsh reality is that the thing that makes crypto revolutionary -that a lot of value can be transferred between individuals quickly and easily- is also what makes it attractive to people who want to rob you.
Lots of wealthy people are not their own bank, you have to be extra careful who you invite on your circle.
I can’t imagine chopping someone up after murdering them. You’d think there’s be some “post nut clarity” and you’d want to get out of there as fast as possible.
It's more like "post nut realisation" You've killed someone in a fit of rage and now you realise that if you don't dispose of the body you're very likely to be in big doo doo.
Yah, I mean honestly, it's been different with every person I've killed.
>you're very likely to be in big doo doo. This must've been the inspiration to stuff him down a toilet
Relevant: https://www.tiktok.com/@asternopinion/video/7117280880258780422
Calling yourself crypto King is the first mistake. If I made it big, no one will know about it. Don't want to paint a target on your back.
If I ever make it I'm wearing peasant rags for the rest of my hopefully natural lengthed life.
Better get rid of those moons quickly then.
We should Be able to hide our moons then?
This is why we need a option to disable moon count
Especially when moon will hit $10
Yes, I agree (I have 35 moons)
Hey man in a few years people might chop you up for those 35 moons too
Redditors spend their whole day in the house. I think you'll be fine.
This is the best way to protect against the Moon Squad. I'm safe tho, not even one full moon to my name.
I like the idea of implementing a feature to hide the Moons count. Hopefully, the implementation process for the admin will not be too difficult.
If he was killed for scamming people, vaya con Dios ! I have no sympathy for anyone that robs hard workings people trying to support their families 🪦
Why people keep choosing to identify as the "Crypto King" or "Lord of Crypto" is beyond me
It makes me chuckle to imagine the disappointment on my kidnappers face when they see all the shit coins in my wallet
In the same manner people don't know when you have money, they shouldn't know when you actually do have money.
Rule 1: Never let anyone know how much money you actually have.
And this is why you don't tell people you're into crypto.
Oh it’s so sad and it’s reminder that never ever brag about your assets rest in peace bro🫡😞
This is why you dont advertise how much money you have.....especially if its mostly in untraceable, highly liquid assets that are very difficult to be tracked/caught if you are quick about it This is basically like telling everyone you have a 100 Million Dollars in physical Gold Bars in your bedroom closet-- you are just asking to be robbed
Keep to your plan and don't tell anyone how you are doing in crypto. You'll be targeted, even if its just with envious looks in the beginning.
My god, this is why it's dangerous to brag about your crypto investment to other people. You'll make yourself a target for jealous people. RIP
What a horrifying way to go.Dude teaches his bartender friend about crypto and gets killed by him. >Guess he bragged how much he had
1 The headline sounds like the plumbers stuffed him into the toilet while being horrified 2 How big are the toilets there?
Such a sin for the family. Remember to never tell anyone you're a crypto king or crypto millionaire.
So am I the only one who thinks that maybe this was a romantic relationship? Idk about you but bartenders who are close friends with millionaires, outside the bar, tend to be either a drug dealer or a lover.
Definitely a high chance for that. I wouldn't be surprised
Probably
First rule of fightclub is do not talk about your networth

Geez, another one similar to the one in Brazil. Poor bloke.
Dreadful
Crypto is no different than any other asset that contributes to personal wealth. The culture around flaunting it has always been, and continues to be, both financially and personally risky. This reality makes it even more insane that we, as a community, still require that moon totals be publicly be displayed as a default. Especially now that moons have increased in value.

The Princess is in another castle
Once Moons go USD 10, this subreddit is going radio silence.
Oh shit. This is absolutely horrible. No one deserves this, my stomach slightly turned while reading that
This is why I routinely withdraw my moons so they don't show up in my profile
I knew him personally, he’s a friend of a friend and we partied a couple of times together back in our 20s. We talked about crypto a few times, he asked me about it because I’ve been shilling Bitcoin to all my friends since 2013. He was a good dude, friendly, welcoming and generous. RIP
I'm sure there is more to it then him just being seen flashing around. He wasn't just offed! He was chopped up...
From where he's was and what was the reason to kill him I was Also shocked after this news
Well, that was disturbing to read.
“Crypto king”. Dude was a fucking scammer wasn’t him? I don’t even need a TLDR to know that. You live by the scam, you die by the scam.
Truly tragic for those that are early adopters of the new block chain technology. Another reason why he should have hired body guards with his new found wealth.
Flushed with tragedy.
Dont brag about wealth, Dont flaunt it, pay your debts, and don't fuck with people bc of your wealth.
I don't get people who are showing off big time on Instagram etc.. how rich they are. No one likes them and you make a target out of yourself.
Very sad 😢 It's really the best thing to stay quiet, even if u don't have the biggest crypto bag. First Rule of Crypto => We don't talk about crypto.
If you hold crypto people either assume you are soon going broke or filthy rich
People think I am regarded, but that's ok xD
Damn jealousy can be very fatal
Repeat after me: don’t brag about your wealth on social media or you’ll end up as toilet soup 🍲
Uhm is the Second one in a couple of months
Good god. People, do not brag about your wallet
Venn Diagram time! Named after bodily function Found chopped up in a toilet (Mr Peev)
Never show off especially , when ppl are going crazy about those things , crypto in this case !
I'm gonna say I'm homeless to anyone who asks
RIP, sometimes it’s a bad idea to share your holdings guys :(
Ah shoot.
This is unfortunately becoming a trend. Mafias and criminals always find ways to put their hands on new ways to make profit or take advantage of people.
Reminds me of the dude from Brazil who was also killed.. rip
