Do you remember that strange case that happened back in 2022? Nikolai Mushegian, one of the founders of MakerDAO, was found dead in Puerto Rico in a very suspicious way. It happened on October 28th on a beach in San Juan, and the story is quite disturbing.
What confused many people was the timing. Just a few hours before being found, Mushegian had posted some very alarming tweets talking about intelligence agencies and trafficking schemes. Then he was found dead on the beach with a small wound on his head. Local authorities said there were no signs of foul play, but the crypto community started questioning everything.
The beach where the body was found is known for dangerous currents, and several drownings have occurred there before. So technically, it could make sense as an accident. But Nikolai Mushegian had friends and colleagues who described him as brilliant, although they knew he was dealing with mental health issues. Some figures in crypto, like Brock Pierce, suggested it could have been self-inflicted. Others found the circumstances very strange.
Nikolai Mushegian’s case fueled conspiracy theories within the crypto community. Many questioned the exact timing of those last tweets and the nature of his death. Even with investigations, the truth about what happened to Mushegian remains a topic of debate to this day. It’s one of those cases that leaves everyone with doubts.
