It’s a bit out of place, I know, but this crypto connection needs an explanation:
Their involvement into Bitcoin is nothing more than a silly meme. According to this — quite popular — conspiracy meme, the late Bogdanoff twins lured noobs into crypto investments and then wrecked them by triggering a large selloff.
Whatever. My prayers are with their families. RIP.
It's more than just the silly meme. Quoting from the lunk article:
> In a July 2021 interview with French television program L’Heure des Pros, the twins claimed that they discussed blockchain and crypto asset ideas with a Japanese scientist named Soïtchiro Shimoda, who they think was associated with Bitcoin’s inventors, reports Bitcoin.com.
> “Igor and I, as mathematicians, were able to participate in the elaboration of some of the [Bitcoin] source code, especially the ‘predictive code,’” Grichka told L’Heure des Pros.
And yes, regardless, thoughts and sympathies with the families.
