Emergency physician reported missing 10 days ago

In the state of Missouri, 49-year-old emergency physician John Forsyth, known as the “Bitcoin millionaire,” was reported missing on May 21st after failing to show up for his shift at the small-town emergency room. His brother, who is also his cryptocurrency company partner, was the first to feel that something was very wrong. John had served in that emergency room for over a decade and had never missed a day of work. His brother told reporters, “Even if his eyeballs fell out, he wouldn’t miss a shift… This is a danger sign!”

The last known contact from John Forsyth was a text message he sent to his recently engaged fiancée early on the day he disappeared. The message read, “See you later!” Later, his car was found unlocked near a nearby lake, with his cellphone, briefcase, wallet, and passport inside.

Surveillance footage from the area where the car was parked revealed that after John Forsyth parked his car, a white van approached. After 15 minutes, John Forsyth left his car, leaving behind all his belongings, and got into the van without taking anything with him.

The brother reveals suspicious aspects

When John Forsyth went missing, his brother told reporters that their joint cryptocurrency company, Onfocoin, had made some enemies over the years. In a 2020 interview, John Forsyth had even stated, “I mined Bitcoin and Litecoin early on and held onto them. The enormous appreciation of these assets allowed me to invest in other cryptocurrency technologies, ultimately transitioning to the development of Onfo, a platform that helps people earn money through mining on the internet.”

ohn Forsyth is a father of seven children. Tearfully, his son told reporters that his father had been very interested in cryptocurrency for the past ten years. Before his disappearance, John’s dual role as an emergency room physician and a cryptocurrency entrepreneur kept him extremely busy. John’s sister also posted a missing person notice on Facebook during his disappearance, expressing her deep concerns: “I am extremely worried that he may have passed away. Please don’t let this be the end. His departure will leave a permanent void in my life…”
