PANews reported on November 1st, citing Bloomberg, that Faruk Fatih Ozer, former CEO of the defunct cryptocurrency exchange Thidex, died in his cell in a prison in the western Turkish city of Thıkırda. Officials are reportedly investigating the possibility of suicide. Ozer ran Thidex until its collapse in 2021 and was sentenced two years ago by a Turkish court to 11,196 years in prison on charges including fraud. The high school dropout founded Thidex in 2017 and fled to Albania after the company's collapse. An Albanian court ordered his extradition to Türkiye in 2022.
