URGENT UPDATE: A Russian crypto millionaire, Alexei Dolgikh, tragically died in a fiery supercar crash in Moscow late last night. The incident claimed the life of Dolgikh, aged 36, and a friend, Ivan Solovyov, while two others were rushed to the hospital with critical injuries.
The shocking accident occurred on the International Highway when Dolgikh’s £329,000 Lamborghini Urus crashed into a barrier at a staggering 93 mph. Eyewitnesses reported the vehicle flipping upside down and igniting, scattering debris across the roadway. Cash was found strewn across the scene, adding a grim layer to this unfolding tragedy.
The Moscow Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that preliminary investigations point to the Lamborghini hitting an obstacle, leading to the horrific explosion. Dolgikh, who had faced banking restrictions due to suspicions of money laundering, had accumulated an alarming 586 fines since purchasing the vehicle just 15 months ago.
This incident comes on the heels of the brutal murder of another crypto figure, Roman Novak, aged 38, and his wife, Anna, aged 37. Their dismembered bodies were discovered in the Dubai desert, following a failed ransom demand. The couple vanished a month ago while reportedly meeting “investors” in Dubai’s Hatta resort, raising alarms in the crypto community.
Authorities have detained three suspects linked to the Novaks’ murder, including a former homicide investigator and two ex-soldiers who had fought in Ukraine. They are believed to have demanded access to Novak’s crypto wallet, which, according to reports, was empty at the time of the abduction.
The brutal circumstances surrounding both deaths highlight the perilous world of cryptocurrency, where fortunes can lead to fatal outcomes. Both Dolgikh and Novak were known for their affluent lifestyles, flaunting luxury cars and private jets on social media. The Novaks leave behind young children who have now become orphans, intensifying the human tragedy of this unfolding saga.
Authorities are expected to provide further updates as investigations into both incidents continue. The connection between Dolgikh’s fatal crash and the Novaks’ gruesome murder remains unclear but is under scrutiny.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as details emerge. The intersection of wealth, power, and danger in the cryptocurrency world has never been more evident, and the fallout from these events is likely to reverberate across the international crypto community.
