The Post reported one suspect was arrested in connection to Algabaās Death, and said Police believe it was a professional hit as the amputations were clean.
A translated version of Telam Digital reported over 200 messages are being analyzed in connection to Algabaās Murder.
He was allegedly roughly $70,000 in debt to Gustavo Iglesias at the time of his death.
One of the recorded voice messages is allegedly Iglesiasā son, Nazareno, threatening Algaba.
āIām not going to kill you, Iām going to do something worse to you, Iām going to gouge out your eyes and cut off your hands so that you canāt have any more Money in your life,ā the son allegedly says.
āI swear on my children that I have no problem going to jail.ā
Telam reported a judicial representative stated the Iglesiases confirmed Algaba owed the family Money.
Before Algabaās Death, he made two unsettling social media posts, according to U.K.ās Daily Mail.
āHello, mom, I needed to clear my head as always,ā Algaba said in an audio clip.
āAnd from here, I am realizing two things: that we canāt escape from problems and that problems will follow us.ā
In the other post, the influencer said, āItās incredible how there are such evil people in the world that while youāre thinking of helping them, theyāre thinking of destroying you.ā
Algaba is not the first cryptocurrency millionaire to die suddenly and mysteriously.
Vyacheslav Taran, 53, head of the Libertex Group crypto exchange died in November in a helicopter crash, two days after Tiantian Kullander, co-founder of Hong Kong-based digital asset company the Amber Group, died in his sleep. Kullander was 30.
Just one month before that, 29-year-old cryptocurrency dealer Nikolai Mushegian drowned in Puerto Rico after claiming the CIA and Mossad were out to kill him, according to news reports.
