Investigators have reportedly suggested it may be the work of a professional outfit and believe the motive behind Algaba’s murder was possibly debt-related. One possible suspect has already been arrested in connection to the case.


Algaba is said to have been a crypto trader in Buenos Aires where he operated an office that employed 25 other traders.

He had also amassed a sizeable Instagram following in his time, with over 917,000 followers. Most of the content revolves around luxury cars and his beloved dog.


It was reported that Algaba had a 900,000 Argentine pesos ($3,300) debt in bounced checks, 1.2 million Argentine pesos ($4,400) owed to banks and another debt of $70,000 again related to a bounced check.
