- pasttense01 4y agoCrypto has a strong reputation as a haven for money laundering, drug sales... So if any of the Mexican/South American drug cartels lost a lot of money Sam and the other top management of those companies could end up dead.
- altdataseller 4y agoSerious Q, but what incentive would they have in killing him? Would that get them their money back? Wouldn't they lose more than they could gain?
- googlryas 4y agoI can't speak to the plausibility of this actually happening here specifically, but usually it is done to set an example for future folk who might try some funny business.

- pacaro 4y agoNot if he's not likely to contribute in the future, if he's broke they no longer care about him
- asah 4y agoWait you're saying politicians will keep the money?!! I'm shocked SHOCKED! /s
