While Hsin-Ju Chuang, a former partner at cryptocurrency fund operator Hack VC, has passed away, Hack VC co-founder Alexander Pack stated, "The company has not had direct contact with Hsin-Ju Chuang for over 10 months." He expressed condolences, saying, "We currently do not know the circumstances or details of his death," and "We ask for respect for his grieving family." Meanwhile, in a post published a few days before her death, Hsin-Ju Chuang revealed that she suffered from severe hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease and insomnia during her time at Hack VC. Despite this, she claimed that company partners pressured her with threats of expulsion from the industry, forcing her to continue high-intensity work and preparations for events related to Korea Blockchain Week (KBW).
