Fazzaco learned that a helicopter crash that happened in Monaco on Friday killed Mr.  Vyacheslav Taran, the co-founder of Libertex Group, an online stock and CFD trading broker with several years in the financial market and online trading experience.

Mr. Taran was a successful businessman who had lived in Monaco for the past 10 years. He worked in cryptocurrency and investments and was the founder of the Libertex Group, an online trading platform that has been active since 1997. He was listed as a member of the board of YouHodler SA in Lausanne, Switzerland, from where he was returning yesterday.

He earned a bachelor's degree in radio electronics from Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service.

He was very well-liked in the expatriate community in Monaco. One close family friend described Mr Taran as "a true global citizen and the kindest person in the world...He was a highly respected person both in Monaco and everywhere he worked. He was one of the most decent, amicable, smart, polite people I know." Another added: "He was a loving dad of three children, a dedicated family man with a passion to learn new ideas and to understand the world."
