 <p>Peev and Valchinov met at a bar between 5 and 6 years ago, and Valchinov introduced Vesco to crypto.</p> 
 <p>According to surveillance footage, Valchinov and Peev were together on Aug. 8 at Valchinov’s residence, the last time that Peev was seen alive.</p> 
 <p>Police also <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="arrested" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/arrested.html">arrested</a> Konstantin Subotinov, who was accused of being an accomplice of Valchinov in Peevs <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="murder" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/murder.html">murder</a>.</p> 
 <p>The reason behind the murder is still unknown, but authorities think it might be money-related because Valchinov was also jealous of Peev’s fortune.</p>
