(((They))) are obviously behind this. Why would a millionaire kill himself over losing such a small portion of his stack? Obviously he would have had to deal with much larger losses (percentage wise, at least) while he was investing in such a volatile asset.

Well, Yeah but he could have gave them some money just to act like he was being compliant while having all of it in a secure place.

Like here guys these are my private key for these bitcorns then give them like 3 while having most of it in another place.

If I had millions which I don't topkek that is what I would do. Spread paper wallets all over the damn place in trees in the ground some in a dog cage ect.

and here is story from his friend.
and google translate.
i am lazy to translate from russian myself at night.

Part1.
He did not care about his safety, he invited the first person to go home. They called him, said that they wanted to invest money in trust management, he dictated the address, the client came and transferred money.

All the cash that he had stolen, Pavel wanted to invest in the crypto currency, because the exchange rate fell dramatically and it would be profitable. But things went wrong as he planned, and he fell into such a depression that he was ready to seize any opportunity to return money to investors and save his reputation.

So, one of his "business partners" invited him to go to Sochi and implement a project that turned out to be non-existent - some kind of crypto currency for the Don Cossacks. As a result, Pasha lost even more money, fell into a big depression and moved to St. Petersburg.

He realized that he could not bail out debts in the near future and at some point he had a very strong roof. He lost even more money in trading, because he did not understand what he was doing, although he had shown very good results before that.

Pasha began to navigate badly in space and time. At one point, he said that it was necessary to write a letter [to co-founder of the crypto-cash project Ethereum] to Vitalik Buterin and [the creator of VKontakte and Telegram] Pavel Durov, because they could allegedly give him a million dollars to bargain on them, return money to them and pay off all debts to depositors. We realized that he was already starting some kind of nonsense, the condition worsened, the words began to sound worse and worse, he constantly began to carry some kind of nonsense.

>> No.9275531

Part2.
Pasha repeatedly said that because of the situation he wants to die, that he is very ill and that something needs to be done, and he does not know what. He did not have any money at all, because he burned all the leftovers on margin trading. He got into the excitement and lost everything.

Shortly before the suicide, Pasha, like us, his acquaintances, received many threats from people, apparently hired by depositors, they were looking for him. One of them was published in a telegram-chat, which Pasha used to communicate with depositors, Pavel's personal file [photographs were published with information about his parents, about buying tickets for airplanes and trains, about convictions in 2013, etc.), which should Keep only with the police.

It seems to me that this was the last blow for Pasha and he had a hard time accepting all this, and he simply could not. On the other hand, he did not leave a suicide note, accused no one, did not say the last words to anyone, so it is not known exactly what caused the incident.

I believe that he was not a swindler, did not want to deceive anyone, it just turned out that he was deceived by absolutely everything. If he did not do what he did, he would not have gotten rid of those people who sat on his tail
