King of the Monero Kingdom... he even had a castle
I went back to look for some of his pictures a while back and most of them were gone. A bunch of them were google links and I think they went when his account expired. A shame really and potentially a cautionary tale.
I don't get the reference but the picture looks funny and some other people seem to appreciate it so kudos.

Didn't he loose 10k coins in a couch or something?
I can tell you he said Poloniex stole 150k Monero from him.

He was nearly constant drama (RIP).

Wasn't it around 2014 when he was at a conference and supposedly someone stole his lap top with 10k bitcoin on it.

He had a lot of other drama besides that incident.

I liked the guy quite a bit. We had a lot of good conversations conversations.  He was somewhat brilliant, but something was just not right up there in his ticker.  I did not trust him. I remember when he started up that kingdom game and basically turned himself into the king, which was always kind of the vibe he was broadcasting. You know, he bought a castle after all.

I don't know a whole lot about what happened after that time, but I believe he had some very difficult family issues around his wife and kid. And I think there was a lot of substance abuse as well going on.

Definitely one of a kind that fellow.  RIP
