Adam Varga + 123 AV February 21, 2018 South Korea is a center for cryptocurrency trading. The price of bitcoin was damaged by possibility of new legislation. And this guy was an important part of this legislation story. He might caused the damage to many players in this market. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 21, 2018 I wouldn't make a James Bond movie here. Jung Ki-joon had to regulate the crypto and probably had a heart attack because he realized that it can't be controlled. And even harder how to tell that to his leaders.

Rodent + 1,424 February 21, 2018 Right, while I usually see conspiracy theories around every corner, it probably is not the first time someone died from a heart attack caused by stress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
