Harry Yeh, founder of $2B Quantum Fintech Group, died after a 30th-floor fall in Asuncion. CCTV and autopsy may show if others were involved.
Harry Yeh, founder and managing partner of Quantum Fintech Group, died Friday after falling more than 100 meters from the 30th floor of the Jade Park residential complex in Asuncion, Paraguay, local police said.
Yeh, a Chinese resident, was found naked and covered by a black bag at the base of the building in the early hours of Friday. Officers responded to an emergency call at the complex, the details of which police have not disclosed. Francisco Ávalos, Asuncion Police's General Inspector, said the cause of the fall is unknown and the investigation is in its initial stages.
Yeh held two apartments in the high-rise. When officers searched his residence, they found the doors open and personal items scattered throughout. Ávalos said the scene suggested possible third-party involvement. Homicide agents are analyzing CCTV footage from the building, which Ávalos said could provide more detail about what happened that night. Investigators have not ruled out further searches in the building.
Police have also interviewed Isadora de Proenca Braganholo Carvalho, Yeh's partner, who lived in a separate apartment on the 27th floor. Carvalho told police she was unaware of the incident.
Quantum Fintech Group reported more than $2 billion in assets under management and concentrated on the Fanton ecosystem. Yeh founded the firm and managed its investments.
Yeh's death follows a rise in wrench attacks, local reports said. A wrench attack is a robbery in which the victim is forced to transfer crypto under threat of violence. Such attacks are hard to trace because the victim signs the transaction. French authorities have charged 25 suspects in violent crypto kidnapping plots.
Police have not ruled out an accident or the intervention of a third party. Ávalos said forensic examination of Yeh's body, which Paraguayan law requires, would help determine what happened. He said the CCTV review is continuing.
