Authorities in Asunción, Paraguay, are investigating the death of Harry Yeh, also identified as Ye Junde or Yip Chun-tak. Yeh, a Hong Kong-born immigrant to Canada and founder of Quantum Fintech Group, died after falling from the 30th floor of the Jade Park luxury apartment complex on August 7.

Investigators reported unusual circumstances, noting that Yeh’s body was found naked and covered with a black cloth or plastic bag. His 30th-floor apartment was found with the doors open and the interior heavily ransacked, suggesting a possible struggle. Police have questioned his Brazilian partner, Isadora de Proença, who resides on the 27th floor of the same building; she claimed to have no knowledge of the incident.

While initial forensic results indicated no signs of struggle on the body, the condition of the apartment and Yeh’s substantial wealth—estimated at over $2 billion through early Bitcoin investments and his role in the Fantom ecosystem—have raised significant questions. Both the victim’s and his partner’s apartments have been cordoned off as investigators collect evidence for the prosecutor’s office.

As the investigation continues, officials are reviewing high-definition surveillance footage and awaiting full forensic autopsy results to determine if the death was an accident, suicide, or homicide. The incident has renewed international concerns regarding the physical security of high-net-worth crypto investors and the potential for ‘wrench attacks’ to gain access to digital assets.
