The American CEO of an exchange for the troubled bitcoin digital currency has been found dead after a suspected suicide at her home in Singapore.
Wisconsin native, Autumn Radtke, 28, was discovered inside her apartment on February 28 and officials in the South East Asian city state are now waiting for toxicology test results to determine the exact cause of death.
Douglas Adams, the non-executive chairman of First Meta confirmed that his colleague had passed away in a statement which said the company was 'shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and CEO Autumn Radtke.'
The death of Radtke is the latest piece of bad news to hit the crisis-ridden bitcoin currency following the collapse of the Japanese-based Mt Gox exchange last week after $400m went missing and the closure of the Flexcoin bank yesterday in Canada after computer hackers robbed $600,000.

Created out of thin air and disappeared into thin air.
A blind man saw this coming.
Two bits.
That's Richard Branson. Her former employer at Virgin Charter. Not her BF.
Also found this in an article about this gal:
"A few weeks ago, the Crypto community at large, was also shocked with the all too sudden death of Mikhail Sindeyev aka ‘thecoder’. Mikhail Sindeyev was just one year younger than Autumn Radtke at the tender age of 27. He passed away due to a stroke, as relayed by his department at MSU in Russia:
“Mikhail Sindeyev, researcher of our lab, has died February 14, 2014 from stroke at 27. He was one of the most talented graduates of our laboratory and active participant of many research projects. In May 2013 he successfully defended his PhD thesis “Research and developement of video matting algorithms”. Our sincere condolenses to his parents. We will deeply miss him.”
Damn, beginning to suspect that computers and money are a pretty lethal combination. Of course it wouldn't cross my mind at all that perhaps young computer whizzes are too easily manipulated by covert government agencies with promises of grand wealth and are too naive to realize they are a dime a dozen and easily expendable. Naaaah...
She could suck a golf ball through a garden hose? Just speculatin'.
Kinda like oil. Quickest way to get yourself dead is invent an alternative fuel for the internal combustion engine.

It might have been a robbery gone bad if any bitcoins are found to be missing from her purse!
The bitcoin index is currently at $657.00. Honestly.
This cracks me up...
It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
OK.
All this breaking/entering & stealing/embezzlement involving Bitcoin has me confused.
1. If the currency has a future, then the thieves are stealing something that has value and will continue to have value. The thieves think that what they have stolen will have future value.
or
2. This is an organized attempt to prevent the development of a currency outside the sovereign control of a nation-state. In which case the hacker-thieves don’t give a rip about the Bitcoins themselves, they merely want to destabilize the system enough to kill public confidence.
I’m leaning #2.
Probably just enough to take the fall.
The Pet Rock of currency
Yeah I thought so too. I just couldn’t figure out how to short it.
Let's put it another way: Some supposedly bright people begin promoting a way to hide and stash money, promising that it's foolproof. International criminals begin to use it--very bad people with a propensity to violence. Then hackers find a way to steal the money because it wasn't as foolproof as it was presented. Now those very bad people want their money and the principals start "committing suicide" or actually committing suicide to avoid something worse.
No matter who he is, he still looks like he’s wearing roadkill.
You mean LBJ was miraculously granted a leave from Hell so he could return and bump he off, thereby succeeding to her job?
