Harry Chun Tak Yeh, a veteran cryptocurrency investor and founder of Quantum Fintech Group, died after falling naked from a luxury high-rise apartment in Paraguay’s capital early Aug. 7, local media reported.

Police are investigating the 40-year-old early Bitcoin adopter’s death as a potential accident, suicide or homicide. 

The fatal plunge follows the collapse of his heavily promoted crypto projects — which wiped out retail investors — and coincides with a global surge in violent extortions targeting digital asset holders.
