According to the Daily Mail, the Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran has died due to a mysterious helicopter crash. The reason why we called it “mysterious” is that the clash took place in good weather. As we know so far, another passenger is scheduled to fly on board but canceled last minute before the helicopter took off. The death of Vyacheslav Taran has put a shadow over the entire Forex and crypto industry.
