Around the time Brian Brooks took the helm as the leader of Binance.US, a curious case began to unfold: the sudden silence of former CEO Catherine Coley. The once active figure on social media has not been seen or heard from since April 19.
The Vanishing Act
Coley was known for regularly sharing both professional updates and snippets from her personal life on Twitter. However, her account has been eerily quiet for several months now. With her LinkedIn profile halting at her two-year tenure as CEO of Binance.US before her departure in June 2021, the silence has raised eyebrows. So much so, that San Francisco authorities have confirmed that there is no record of her being reported missing as of October.
Crypto Community Reacts
The crypto sphere has taken note of Coley’s absence. Maybe they’re just browsing memes while sipping on overpriced coffee, but notable figures like XRP’s David Schwartz have mentioned their concerns. In a notably perplexing tweet back in July, Schwartz admitted that while he tried reaching out, a heroic attempt at calling was not part of his plan.
Rumors, Speculations, and a Whole Lot of Gossip
As in any saga worthy of a soap opera plot twist, rumors have swirled around the digital community. Speculation ranges from wild claims that Coley may have met an untimely demise to theories about her living it up on a beach in Puerto Rico. There’s even murmurings about potential legal issues concerning her exit from Binance.US. But alas, none of these claims have been substantiated.
Her Last Public Moments
Coley’s last substantial public interaction was back in April when she tweeted about impressive traffic on the Binance.US platform. Interestingly, her last appearance before an audience was at the LA Blockchain Summit in October 2020, where she presumably left the attendees wanting more. Or perhaps, they just wanted answers.
Community Concerns
Crypto Twitter is alive with chatter about Coley, primarily focused on her wellbeing. One user expressed their worries about not hearing from her since their last conversation in December. Concerns are not just from fans, as past colleagues are genuinely hoping for the best while also seeking answers.
A Remarkable Career
Prior to her disappearance, Coley was a prominent figure in the crypto landscape and celebrated as a leading woman in tech. Making the coveted Forbes Magazine’s list of 40 under 40 influential entrepreneurs in 2020, she had positioned herself as a role model for aspiring leaders everywhere and paved the way for a more diverse representation in the crypto ecosystem.
The Big Questions Remain
Cointelegraph reached out to Coley for comments, but as of this writing, the silence continues. The crypto community remains hopeful for an update, be it mundane or earth-shattering. After all, it seems like we’ve all been following a glaring mystery worthy of Agatha Christie!
