A gunshot wound, bitcoin millions and a dubious crypto project. The police have found the body of the missing Onfocoin founder.

As reported by the Associated Press news agency, police found the body of Onfocoin founder Dr John Forsyth, 30 May, more than a week after he went missing. On 21 May, relatives reported the emergency doctor missing after he failed to show up for his shift at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, Missouri.

His family posted an appeal for information on social media shortly after. On 28 May, authorities discovered that the doctor's car was parked less than a mile from the hospital. Inside the unlocked vehicle, officers found a wallet, passport, laptop and a work briefcase.

Two days later, police came across Forsyth's body an hour south of where he was last seen. Despite a gunshot wound, officers do not suspect foul play, they say. Forsyth and his brother founded the crypto company Onfocoin. According to the website's information, users can earn money there by recruiting friends. "Invite lots of people and your balance will grow without spending a cent," promises the supposedly Stellar-based crypto project.

The latest Twitter post is dated 19 July 2019, after Onfocoin (ONFO) was reportedly tradable on crypto exchange Coinsbit. ONFO cannot be found on either CoinMarketCap or Coingecko. According to Forbes, Forsyth is a "bitcoin millionaire" who studied mathematics and had early exposure to BTC and the blockchain. The Onfocoin founder is not the first crypto investor to die in mysterious circumstances. In April, cash app inventor Bob Lee died after a knife attack - the identity of the perpetrator is still unclear.
