Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin presumed dead in a car crash - Rumors ?

in #bitcoin • 8 years ago (edited)

Hate to spread fake rumors but some people are spreading rumors that Vitalik Buterin could be dead as a result of a car accident...

I have the feeling that it could be a "move" from traders / speculators to short the market or try to buy some cheap ETH and it makes me sick to my stomach.

I'll try to update this post as soon as more information about his well being - or not - are available.

NB: One thing that makes me think it is photoshopped is that if you look at the top right you can see " young driver injured".

    This is fake news, no confirms or news about it all over the internet, and believe me this man is very very important and if he dies you will see his name everywhere. his last tweet was like 19h ago, and that board is filled of fake news and lies to play with crypto market. :)

      This sounds fake news to me. Some bad people want to take advantage on this and it's very sad.
