The American crypto-anarchist better known as ‘’John Galton’’ was reportedly shot and killed in his home in Acapulco-Mexico after he fled the United States according to crypto news reports by Mercury News.
Galton’s partner Lily Forester stated that she saw the gunman shoot Galton and his friend under the name of Jason Henza. Henza made it to the local hospital with injuries to his armpit, leg, and hand but Galton didn’t make it.
John fled the United States back in 2016 since he was charged for drug use and was facing a 25-year prison sentence for manufacturing narcotic substances at that time. His death has been attributed to a cartel attack that saw him as a competition for the drug trade in the neighborhood he was living in.
Galton was a host of the ”Anarchoforko” event which allowed attendees to create and tell their personal experience without the need of a central planning committee. The event didn’t stand well with the locals and the activists that aim at freedom-related topics such as earning passive income using cryptocurrencies. Before his death, he was a host of weekly ‘’Meat Ups’’ a place where meat-eaters gathered to only consume meat.
The crypto atmosphere in Mexico seems to be to most desired structures in the world and spiked the climate after the FinTech laws were imposed by the Mexican government last year in September. The legislation directed that companies which want to use digital currencies for conducting transactions must request an authorization first from the Bank of Mexico.
Mexico has, however, one of the highest rates of drug users. For example, Matthew Mellon who was a billionaire died at rehab in Cancun. He was one of the first Ripple backers and the chairman of the finance committee of the Republican Party in New York.
