Ivan Insider, a crypto blogger, disappeared without a trace in Moscow

Famous streamer and crypto blogger Ivan Insider (real name is Ivan Andreev) has disappeared in Moscow. This was reported on May 24 by a source of Izvestia.

According to the source, the search for the man has been going on for about a week — the last time he contacted on May 18. Then he was supposed to go to a meeting, and then fly to Serbia, but disappeared.

Andreev's colleagues suggest that he could have been abducted because of his activities in the field of cryptocurrencies. So, the popular streamer Bratishkin (real name — Vladimir Semenyuk) noted that people from this area "end up in basements."

The missing blogger's family is monitoring transactions with his Insider cryptocurrency to check if he made transfers before disappearing. Another friend of the missing man, cybersportsman Alexei Pchelkin, said that the details of the disappearance could not yet be announced. In his opinion, Andreev may not want to be found himself.

Nevertheless, Insider's relatives continue to search. Ivan's wife Lera has stopped contacting on social media and is not answering her phone. As Izvestia learned, she had previously stated that there would be no broadcasts in the near future.

Insider has been actively streaming since 2017. Tens of thousands of people have subscribed to it.

In December 2025, former State Duma deputy Nikolai Gerasimenko disappeared in Moscow. He left the house in the evening and did not return. A black and white Akita Inu dog disappeared with him. The ex-MP and his pet were wanted by volunteers. Later, the former parliamentarian was found. Gerasimenko, according to the Izvestia source, suffers from dementia, which could be the reason for his disappearance.
