On Twitter, the cryptocurrency community responded to the loss. The “business lost a young, intelligent and most importantly, a decent soul,” according to Arthur Cheong, founding partner of DeFiance Capital.

TT was mentioned on Twitter as one of the most sincere and talented people he knew by Tom C, co-founder of the automatic market maker (AMM) Charm Finance.

“He’s one of the few people who gets crypto (and finance), and sets his heart on doing the right things. I can’t believe something like this has happened,” he concluded.
