A crypto stunt gone tragically wrong. ASKfm, a Ukraine-based social network planning an initial coin offering, or ICO, sponsored four Ukrainian “crypto enthusiasts” to climb Mount Everest and bury a hard drive holding cryptocurrency at the summit.

One of the local Nepalese guides assisting the group, called Lam Babu Sherpa, died making the dangerous trip.

ASKfm said:

"ASKfm had no updated information regarding the whereabouts of the missing Sherpa, as the group was always moving forward and were assisted by many different sherpas along the way."

Ah, cryptocurrency and assisted climbs to the everest, two of the favourite activities of asshats in one go.
