Title: [2014-03-05] slate - Did the “Bitcoin CEO” Just Commit Suicide? Not So Fast. Post by: awesomeami on March 05, 2014, 10:33:51 PM http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/03/05/bitcoin_ceo_suicide_not_so_fast_first_meta_s_autumn_radtke_is_dead_but_we.html
Quote First of all, bitcoin doesn’t have a CEO. It’s a crypto-currency, not a company. Quote the “suicide” headlines on sites such as the New York Post, the Daily Mail, and Fox News are based on anonymously sourced reports in “local media.” Quote And even if she did commit suicide, how do we know it had anything to do with bitcoin’s troubles? We don’t. Quote And for the record, suicide is rarely the result of any single cause. Title: Re: [2014-03-05] slate - Did the “Bitcoin CEO” Just Commit Suicide? Not So Fast.

First there was a fatal fault in Bitcoin, all bitcoins were hacked, Bitcoin company went bankrupt, and now Bitcoin CEO commited suicide.
We just need to inform people, that we are not going to run out of Bitcoin CEOs any time soon, as there are many (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2546906/Two-bitcoin-executives-arrested-money-laundering-police-accuse-helping-black-market-drug-site-exchange-illegal-cash-digital-coins.html) other (http://edition.cnn.com/2014/02/28/business/only-invest-what-you-can-afford-to-lose-bitcoin-executive/).
