> "Crypto trader kills himself on X live to create a meme coin"

This headline is beyond clickbait, it's an outright misrepresentation of what happened.

The article's own content contradicts the headline: 1. The victim had documented mental health struggles 2. He had just lost his last $500 in a crypto scam 3. His statement "If I die, make me a meme coin" was made during the incident, not as a premeditated plan 4. The article itself notes he may have been playing Russian roulette, with two failed trigger pulls before the fatal shot

It doesn't seem like someone was deliberately killing themselves "to create a meme coin."
