Bauer’s death was shared by his wife, Belinda Flordeliza, on her Facebook page. No cause of death was indicated.

A German newspaper also reported about Bauer’s death.

Reports claimed that Bauer was close to dismissed Wirecard chief operating officer Jan Marsalek, who’s tagged in the missing $1.2 billion funds from the company.

The Anti-Money Laundering Council and the National Bureau of Investigation were hot on Bauer’s heels prior to his death.

Bauer and his wife owned Pay Easy, an electronic payments solutions company, as well as the P2P bus operator, Froehlich Tours.
