Wesley Pessano Santarem, Crypto Trader, Shot Dead In Brazil by HolinessForever: 12:59pm On Aug 09, 2021
CRYPTO DEATH: A YOUNG crypto trader who flaunted his wealth on Instagram has been shot dead at the wheel of his red Porsche Boxster.

Gunmen unleashed a hail of bulllets on 19-year-old Wesley Pessano Santarem as he drove through the Brazilian city of Sao Pedro da Aldeia.

Chilling video footage filmed in the aftermath of the broad daylight shooting on August 4 shows Wesley motionless in the driver's seat of his car with his white T-shirt soaked in blood.

There is a visible bullet wound in his neck.

The shocking killing comes as gangs are increasingly targeting so-called "Insta-bragging" Bitcoin traders and influencers after they have flaunted their wealth on social media.

Despite being just 19-years-old, Wesley had apparently made a fortune as a cryptocurrency trader and investor for at least three years.

On Instagram he flaunted his wealth and expensive lifestyle to his 133,000 followers plus a YouTube channel with 15,600 subscribers where he gave trading tips.

His last Insta post was a photo of him sitting on the red Porsche — in which he was shot — as he flicks through wads of cash.

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
According to reports, Wesley, who lived in the nearby city of Cabo Frio, was driving to the hairdresser's to get a haircut when he was ambushed.

The killing took place in front of bystanders, who said the killers were driving a silver Volkswagen Voyage.

Cops say Wesley took at least four bullets, including one to the head.

Wesley's pal was travelling in the passenger seat at the time and was injured in the shooting.

He was taken to hospital in Cabo Frio while Wesley's body was taken for a post-mortem examination.

The injured man's identity has not been reported.

The police have not revealed the killers’ identities or the possible motive for the crime.

Avoidable death.

He could have enjoyed his wins on the low knowing how angry some people on the outside have become at people flaunting their wealth in the midst of so many poor.

Una go dey use luxury dey taunt people wey never chop with so much anger ravaging them from the inside.

This will be the lot of some of our politicians and their wards very soon.

Such a Pathetic death of a young Man.
He Died due to the way he Handled vanity. Never allow the Vanities of life Control and own you.

Treat Vanities with very Light Hands. No matter how wealthy you are, Control Vanity !don't let it control you.

Most Important is the Safety of your soul in Eternity because 1 minute in Hell dissolves 100 years of Balling , Hipping and Hopping on Earth in the name of living large. So Ensure your Relationship with JESUS Christ is well intact.

It’s more like an addiction to some folks, they just can’t help it the show off is what makes them relevant or what?
The internet is filled with different entities with different demons
We live in a cruel world and times are hard so most people don’t want you to do better than they are doing

If one is blessed with a fine (whitish) yam,
one should eat it under wraps,
so that one can eat it for long.


RIP to him.

He has a right to flaunt his wealth as long as it was made legitimately. However, safety after flaunting isn't guarantee. So, all the going ones there, use your brain. Which is better between living your low key life and enjoying AND exposing yourself and get killed?

Lots of BTC and ALT coins just went down the drain like that
