Harry Yeh, founder of Quantum Fintech Group and a figure within the Fantom ecosystem, died after falling from a luxury residential tower in Asunción, Paraguay. Authorities discovered an apartment connected to Yeh with its entrance unlocked and signs of significant disturbance inside. The incident remains under investigation with police neither confirming nor excluding accident, self-harm, or foul play as possible explanations.

He publicly stated he oversaw in excess of $2 billion in holdings within digital assets, though this claim has not received independent verification.
