There is an unconfirmed report that Risto Pietila has died. By his own hand, people are saying. More if I get it.
Hope that stays unconfirmed, stopped following him after his castle burned down and he stopped posting here
It may get murky. He did come back here after that, and he scammed a bunch of people. In recent times he was going down a rabbit hole - investigating the 'Pedo Word Order' if I may, so it will be hard to know what's what.
There was recently an unconnected twitter btc scammer who likely faked his death, but what has happened with Risto, I don't know. Those he didn't scam often liked him, and he's part of the whole history of our movement, from silver to bitcoin and monero, games, the scam, the castle and more. edit
