First Meta isn't actually a Bitcoin exchange, but they accept Bitcoin as a payment method.



Wow that really changes the story. Putting "Bitcoin Exchange" in the title strongly implies that the recent disaster could have been a motive for her death. The fact that BTC is just another payment method for her company means something entirely different. Thank you for sharing this.


If she accepted payment in bitcoin isn't it possible that she had a bunch of bitcoins in MtGox?


Someone posted the following on Secret[0]:

> I put 1MM of our startup's cash into mt.gox and it's lost 80% of its value. I haven't told my cofounder or vcs yet

There was some speculation it might be the same person.
