A man died while climbing Everest in a cryptocurrency publicity stunt gone wrong

Description

In May, social network ASKfm organized a publicity stunt to draw attention to their cryptocurrency offering. To attract the public’s interest, ASKfm tasked four cryptocurrency enthusiasts to scale Mount Everest. They were to scale the mountain and bury two hardware wallets containing $50,000 worth of the company’s tokens. The wallets could later be retrieved by someone brave enough to scale the mountain and find them.
