Глава корейского регулятора, занимавшегося наведением порядка в обращении криптовалют, внезапно найден мертвым в своей квартире. Пока основная версия - сердечный приступ, хотя я бы не был в этом так уверен. Слишком уж вовремя это произошло. Слишком часто в последнее время человеческая жизнь становится способом для биржевых или политических спекуляций.

A South Korean official who guided Seoul’s regulatory clampdown on cryptocurrencies was found dead on Sunday, according to a government spokesman.

Jung Ki-joon, 52, was head of economic policy at the Office for Government Policy Coordination. He helped coordinate efforts to create new legislation aimed at suppressing cryptocurrency speculation and illicit activity, the spokesman.

Semiofficial news agency Yonhap reported that Mr. Jung was presumed to have suffered a heart attack and police had opened an investigation into the cause of death. Yonhap also reported that Mr. Jung was found at home. The government spokesman would only say that the Office for Government Policy Coordination wasn’t sure about the cause of death.

Mr. Jung’s colleagues said he had been under heavy stress in recent months as South Korea worked to tackle cryptocurrency speculation, Yonhap reported.
