Russian crypto-billionaire Vyacheslav Taran, president of the Libertex Group and founder of the Forex Club at the age of 53 reportedly died on November 25 after the helicopter he was traveling in crashed in France.
Reports also stated that Taran including the helicopter pilot died while they were on their way from Lausanne to Monaco, Switzerland.
After Taran trained as a radio engineer, he founded Forex Club, a foreign exchange trading company in Russia in 1997 and made it one of the leading companies in the country.
Although its success came to a halt when the Central Bank of Russia shut down its services in 2018 due to registration fraud, Forex Club continues to operate in 100 other countries.
Meanwhile, Libertex functions as a financial product offering, cryptocurrency trading, an application that enables crypto mining as well as a sponsor of the Bayern Munich football club.
It is also understood that Taran is not only connected with several investment and real estate companies, but is also the founder of the Change One Life charity foundation.
For the record, Taran is among the third crypto executive who has died suddenly while co-founder of Amber Group, Tiantian Kullander (TT) died on 23 November including Nikolai Mushegian, co-founder of MarkerDAO died on 28 October.
However, the helicopter accident that claimed Taran's life is now under investigation due to the weather conditions that day not only being good and having an experienced pilot, but the question is how the incident could have been triggered.
