<p>A popular cryptocurrency influencer was declared missing last week, and his body was found dismembered in a suitcase over the weekend.</p>
<p>Fernando Pérez Algaba, 41, a businessman who made millions renting luxury vehicles and selling cryptocurrency, was reported missing on July 18, after disappearing from the apartment he was renting while on a trip to Argentina. Algaba, who has more than 900,000 followers on Instagram, was staying in Argentina for a week and was supposed to return the keys to the apartment on July 19.</p>
<p>Algaba, who lives in Barcelona, Spain, didn’t return the keys and didn’t answer his phone, the property owner reportedly told authorities, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/27/millionaire-crypto-influencer-found-dismembered-in-suitcase/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the New York Post</a>.</p>
<p>Over the weekend, a group of children playing near a stream in Ingeniero Budge, a town in the Buenos Aires Province, found a red suitcase filled with body parts and told their parents. The parents called the police, who inspected the suitcase and found Algaba’s legs and a forearm. They then searched the stream and found his other arm. On Wednesday, they found Algaba’s head and torso.</p>
<p>Algaba was identified by his fingerprints and distinctive tattoos. His body parts had been cleanly amputated, which suggested a professional was behind the dismembering, according to local media. An autopsy revealed that Algaba had been shot three times before his body was dismembered, the Post reported.</p>
<p>Argentinian authorities opened a murder investigation and have already arrested one suspect believed to be involved, though the motive remains unknown. Authorities reportedly suspect the influencer was killed over money, as he had a lot of debts.</p>
<p>Algaba, known to his friends as Lechuga, meaning lettuce, began working at the age of 14.</p>
<p>“I started with a bicycle and a box and I started selling sandwiches,” Algaba told his followers at some point, adding that he moved on to buying vehicles that he would repair and the sell.</p>

<p>By the time he was 24, Algaba had a warehouse filled with luxury vehicles, motorcycles, and jet skis, the Post reported. He then started a business in Miami renting out the vehicles and jet skis before moving to Spain earlier this year. In the past few years, Algaba has also run a cryptocurrency trading business in Spain with 25 employees.</p>
<p>But Algaba was also in serious debt, La Nacion <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/seguridad/quien-era-el-hombre-hallado-descuartizado-en-un-arroyo-de-lomas-de-zamora-nid26072023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. He had incurred “irrecoverable” debts with Argentina’s tax agency. The company he founded in 2018, Motors Lettuce SRL, also began bouncing checks less than a year after it started. He also reportedly left a note on his phone that said he had lost money investing in crypto.</p>
<p>Further, Algaba reportedly had issues with a violent Argentina gang known as Barra Bravas, which had allegedly demanded he pay them a $40,000 loan.</p>
<p>“If something happens to me, everyone is already warned,” he reportedly wrote in one message.</p>
