In May 2023, a grim incident unfolded at a lavish Bali resort, involving the murder of a crypto millionaire couple. The girlfriend was strangled in the bathtub, while her boyfriend, with 20 wounds, was found crawling in agony down the hallway. Authorities initially labeled it a murder-suicide fueled by passion, but puzzling elements surfaced.
Questions arose about the boyfriend’s wounds, supposedly from a broken beer bottle, and the absence of his fingerprints on it. Their Bali trip, meant to celebrate the girlfriend’s graduation and facilitate a crypto trade for the boyfriend, concealed complexities. The couple’s habit of changing hotels in Southeast Asia to thwart potential robbers added intrigue.
Bali authorities overlooked telling Chinese officials about an unmonitored balcony that outsiders could access. Speculation suggests five potential individuals involved, proposing a scenario where intruders entered through the balcony, torturing the couple.
The killers left after extracting crypto access information and staging the crime scene. While initially thought dead, the boyfriend crawled for help, drawing the attention of hotel staff too late. Amid ongoing investigations, suspicion extends to possible involvement of hotel employees for financial gain.
