Hong Kong-born crypto investor found dead nude in Paraguay after falling from height

Some residents and building staff stated that Yeh exhibited unusual behavior in the weeks leading up to the incident, including avoiding the elevator, using the fire escape instead, and deliberately avoiding certain public spaces.

While preliminary evidence suggests suicide, the prosecutor in charge stated that other possibilities will not be ruled out. 

The autopsy results for the deceased are expected soon, while toxicology testing takes longer. 

Yeh began his investment career in 2013 when Bitcoin was priced at around US$60 (HK$470.7). He purchased his first batch of Bitcoins for US$500, and later that year founded his first fund with US$250,000. 

He also founded Binary Financial, which later developed into Quantum Fintech Group, expanding its investment scope to cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and other digital assets.

Notably, several deaths have occurred in the cryptocurrency corps in recent years. In 2025, Faruk Fatih Özer, founder of the collapsed Turkish exchange Thodex, died in prison. Konstantin Galish, a figure associated with the Ukrainian cryptocurrency community, was shot and killed in his car in Kyiv in the same year.
