Missing crypto king found chopped up & stuffed down toilet by horrified plumbers
The remains of an American crypto mogul have been found chopped up and stuffed down a toilet by horrified plumbers.
Body parts of Christian Peev, 41, who had both US and Bulgarian citizenship, were found by plumbers in a sewer when they were called to clear a blocked drain on Saturday, in Sofia, Bulgaria's capital.
Investigators believe the alleged killer, identified as Vesco Valchinov, chopped up his victim's body and flushed some of the parts down the toilet. Some of the parts that couldn't be flushed away, including the victim's head and some of his bones, were buried instead.
Christian Peev had graduated from a university in the US and built a fortune off of crypto investments. He was a regular visitor to high-society parties and events before he was murdered, and it is believed this is where he met his alleged killer, who was working as a bartender.

Prosecutors and the Ministry of the Interior held a joint press conference saying that Christian's cousin filed a report on August 10, saying that he had disappeared two days earlier.
The investigators reached the scene of the crime after checking the two phones of the missing person. They said: "All contacts he had on the day he was last seen were checked. One of them was with his friend Vesco Valchinov.

The next day, the suspect killer went out alone. He came home and went out again several times during the day. But Christian was not seen. Another man, named Konstantin Subotinov, allegedly helped the killer hide the dismembered corpse of the victim.
When he was detained he admitted that he helped the killer to hide the parts of the victim's body by taking some of them with his car to Vitosha and burying them there. He buried the head and skeleton but the more easy to flush away fresh from the body was put in the toilet.

Christian Peev had Bulgarian and American citizenship. He graduated in the US, had a lot of money and regularly took his friends out to bars, and that's how he met with his killer around five to six years ago.
According to local media, Mr Peev even helped Valchinov do business with cryptocurrency so the investigators suspect that the motive of the murder is related to money. And police are not ruling out the idea that the former bartender was jealous of his friend. The investigation is ongoing.
