Family of Ex-OpenAI Researcher Turn to Crypto to Fund Disputed Death Probe

When traditional avenues fail, decentralized finance steps in—whether you like it or not.

The family of a former OpenAI researcher is bypassing red tape and banking roadblocks by launching a crypto-based fundraiser. Their goal? To finance an independent probe into a death that official channels have left shrouded in mystery.

Crowdfunding justice—because nothing says 'trustless system' like having to mint NFTs for autopsy costs.

Welcome to Web3's darkest use case yet: where grief meets blockchain's unblinking ledger. The campaign's already drawing both sympathy and skepticism—after all, nothing rallies crypto degens faster than a controversial cause (and the speculative upside of associated tokens).

As one crypto skeptic quipped: 'Finally, a shitcoin with actual emotional value.'
