The craziest thing about this is the beach he died at. Playa Hermosa is pretty well known for mad riptides and not being such a fun place to surf or swim as a result. What the hell was he doing there swimming around casually? There's warning flags everywhere... you can see them in the local news article regarding this https://www.teletica.com/sucesos/extranjero-de-41-anos-murio-ahogado-en-playa-hermosa-garabito_288345 https://www.teletica.com/sucesos/extranjero-de-41-anos-murio... "Los hechos se dieron a eso de las 8:30 a.m. cuando Popescu ingresó al mar a nadar en el sector de Tramonto, fue arrastrado por la corriente y murió en el lugar. Guardavidas de Playa Jacó le recuerdan a los turistas y bañistas que Paya Hermosa no es una zona para nadar. Además, recomiendan nunca ingresar al mar solos, sin guardavidas, personas o surfistas cerca a quienes pedir ayuda en caso de emergencia. " no es una zona para nadar... means it's not a swimming zone. Someone really should have told him harder. Completely avoidable tragedy.

He was a crypto billionaire, so either he was murdered by the G7 or he faked his own death.

    I'm sure they were joking, like saying he got Epsteined. People go for the most complicated explanation rather than the simplest.

    Sounds like the perfect place to fake your own death ;)

If you read the link I've posted in another comment, along with anything else he's posted on his blog, you'll soon realize he quite literally thought he was a demigod reincarnated and that such mad riptides surely couldn't affect him due to all of the pure manliness he exuded.
