Mircea Popescu was, amongst other things, the owner/operator of Mpex, one of the first exchanges for bitcoin. He was a vocal proponent for bitcoin and called out bitcoin scams regularly, being one of the first to raise alarm bells about the BTCST Ponzi run by Trendon Shavers and MtGox.

Thanks. I was looking in Wikipedia, but I think I only found people with the same name.

If accurate - and it's rather likely [1] - then the world has lost someone who was quite interesting.

Weird [2], controversial, completely unpalatable to some and hated by many, but most definitely interesting [3]

RIP Mircea, if you are indeed dead, you were certainly not boring [4]
