The Post reported one suspect was arrested in connection to Algaba’s death, and said police believe it was a professional hit as the amputations were clean.
A translated version of Telam Digital reported over 200 messages are being analyzed in connection to Algaba’s murder.
He was allegedly roughly $70,000 in debt to Gustavo Iglesias at the time of his death.
One of the recorded voice messages is allegedly Iglesias’ son, Nazareno, threatening Algaba.
“I’m not going to kill you, I’m going to do something worse to you, I’m going to gouge out your eyes and cut off your hands so that you can’t have any more money in your life,” the son allegedly says.
“I swear on my children that I have no problem going to jail.”
Telam reported a judicial representative stated the Iglesiases confirmed Algaba owed the family money.
Before Algaba’s death, he made two unsettling social media posts, according to U.K.’s Daily Mail.
“Hello, mom, I needed to clear my head as always,” Algaba said in an audio clip.
“And from here, I am realizing two things: that we can’t escape from problems and that problems will follow us.”
In the other post, the influencer said, “It’s incredible how there are such evil people in the world that while you’re thinking of helping them, they’re thinking of destroying you.”
Algaba is not the first cryptocurrency millionaire to die suddenly and mysteriously.
