However, the crypto trader did present “kidney issues as a cause of a professional mite treatment in his early days”, as was confirmed via his Twitter account. The team behind Goxx Capital said:

While having normal amounts of food until Sunday, he then suddenly refused eating and fell asleep peacefully on Monday morning.
