A quick warning. This episode discusses suicide. Please take care while listening.

Oh, my God. In late February, a man started a live stream on X.

He's on his phone.

You see him, he's wearing a white t-shirt, he's got gold chains on,

and he starts talking to the camera.

The man's name, Arnold Harrow.

You can see that he's feeling much more anxiety as it's going on.

He's like scratching his head.

Then Harrow holds a bullet up to the camera.

Then he puts the bullet into the chamber of Smith & Wesson, and he spins the chamber, and he looks at it.

And you could see that he's in a lot of distress.

Haro was playing Russian roulette.

And then, he made a request to his followers.

If I die, I hope you guys turn this into a meme coin. Haro killed himself on that live stream.

He was 23 years old.

And in a matter of hours, his dying request,

turned this into a meme coin, came true.

Someone created a meme coin that was named after his social media handle. And very quickly, that coin took off.

The cryptocurrency named after Haro skyrocketed in value to $2 million.

Our colleague Kevin Dugan covers the culture of finance.

He heard about Haro's suicide earlier this year.

And it surprised him how easily a tragedy like this could be transformed into an asset.
