Bitcoiner Mircea Popescu Dead By Drowning

June 27, 2021 4:02 pm

Mircea Popescu, a 2011 bitcoin adopter who operated the now long defunct stocks, bonds and options MPEx exchange founded in April 2012 – which required 30 bitcoin to join – has drowned at sea.

The Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) of Costa Rica identified the drowned 41 year old as Mircea Popescu, though they say he is of Polish origin when he is known to be Romanian.

“The events occurred around 8:30 am when Popescu entered the sea to swim in the Tramonto sector, was swept away by the current and died on the spot.

Jacó Beach lifeguards remind tourists and bathers that Paya Hermosa is not an area for swimming,” local media says.

The current there can drag you out for miles and if you swim against it, you die of exhaustion. Swimming sideways to shore can work, all suggesting this was probably a natural cause.
