There is a massive gulf in the power between a head of state and that of a tech company executive.

I wonder if this is crypto related? There seems to be an coordinated/ongoing government response to taking down crypto in the past several months. Maybe that's why they'd keep digs on him?

There's a bit of a difference between 'former head of state shot down in broad daylight' and 'company exec stabbed at 2:35 a.m. in the center of a major city'
