Abandoned £3million mansion 'of mysterious missing Crypto King’ is found – including pool and secret ‘mine’ | The Sun

AN LUXURY mansion once believed to have been owned by a mysterious "Crypto King" has been discovered totally abandoned.

The extensive mansion is estimated to be worth some £3million but has been left to rot and be reclaimed by nature.

It is complete with a wooden spiral staircase, an indoor hot tub, and even a secret room for mining Bitcoin.

The exact owner of the mansion is unknown, but it is rumoured to be a wealth crypto investor.

And urban legends surrounding the mansion claim the millonaire fled after his fortunes turned bad.

Explorer Dave, known as Freaktography online, explored the southern Ontario, Canada property, sharing footage on YouTube with his 85,000 followers.

“Once a symbol of opulence and wealth, the mansion now stands decrepit and forgotten, shrouded in an aura of mystique,” said Dave.

“It is rumored that the infamous ‘Crypto King’ vanished without a trace, leaving behind an empire of shattered dreams and abandoned crypto projects.”

The unknown owner had a large set up in the basement, complete with hundreds of empty boxes for SD cards and other tech equipment.

Also found on the property were thousands of medical-grade masks and surgical gowns, brand new and in boxes.

The home is currently listed as vacant land for development, with the home falling into decay.

Dave added: “As we stepped cautiously through the crumbling ruins, we stumbled upon an unexpected twist – there were signs of someone squatting there.

“A squatter had made this forsaken mansion their home, adding an extra layer of intrigue to our exploration.”

Crypto is notoriously volatile as an investment – with market players sometimes losing millions overnight as it fluctuates.

Bitcoin peaked at some £38,000 value per coin, but has since crashed down to less than half that – at £18,000.

And the digital currencies are often the subject of scams, with holders having very little recourse if their wallets are compromised.

So with the extremely chaotic market potentially being the source of the mysterious mansion owner's wealth – it is perhaps unsurprising its fallen into ruin.

Sharing his incredible find on YouTube, Dave gained over 8,000 views as fans rushed to comment.

One person said: “I find it weird that all that crypto-mining stuff so hidden and wasted GPUs you found down there seems to evoke the same feeling one would get if they stumbled across an abandoned meth lab while doing urban exploration.”

Jeannie added: “It’s pittyful the way people destroy peoples properties.” [sic]

“I wonder what the deal was with all the medical stuff?” commented Bob.
