A cryptocurrency millionaire was found dismembered in a suitcase in Argentina. The remains of Fernando Perez Algaba, 41 years old, were discovered in plastic bags inside a suitcase. Children playing near a river in Buenos Aires found the suitcase containing one arm and both legs of the man. The police later found the head, torso, and the other arm in the water.
Fernando Perez Algaba presented himself as a successful businessman, but apparently, he was heavily in debt. An autopsy revealed that he had been shot three times and that his limbs had been “neatly” cut, suggesting the work of “professionals.” He was unequivocally identified through his fingerprints and tattoos.
There are divergent opinions about how Algaba acquired his fortune and its true value at the time of his death. He presented himself to his more than 900,000 Instagram followers as a self-made millionaire who had worked hard since childhood. However, sources close to him claim that his father had left him a considerable fortune.
Algaba was involved in cryptocurrency and luxury car trading before his death. However, critics claim that he was an impostor and had significant debts. It is possible that he had dealings with dangerous people.
Algaba is said to have borrowed money in the Buenos Aires underworld. He may have had trouble repaying a loan of about 35,000 euros. His brother, Rodolfo Perez Algaba, denied fraud allegations and stated that Fernando “was struggling to sell bitcoins.” He also denied any connection to the organized crime in Buenos Aires, which is closely linked to the hooligan scene.
