Crypto founder Joe McCann’s passport is sitting with Zanzibar police. He isn’t going anywhere until they get answers.
Authorities Hold McCann Pending AutopsyMcCann has not commented publicly. He could not be reached for comment.
Robinson’s relatives are not satisfied with the official account. Her sister, Alyssa Endres, told NBC News that “none of this makes sense.”
According to the family, Robinson had recently celebrated her 31st birthday and her engagement to McCann — both of which had happened just days before her death. Endres described her sister as happy at the time.
A Turbulent Year For McCann’s FundInvestors pushed back on the fund’s performance, and McCann changed its trading strategy in July of that year after facing significant backlash.
A separate deal that would have taken a Solana treasury company public — with McCann at the helm — was reportedly called off in August 2025, just weeks after the fund’s losses became public knowledge. No reason was given for why that deal fell apart.
Whether those financial pressures have any bearing on the events in Zanzibar remains unknown. Police have not drawn any public connection between the two.
McCann remains in Zanzibar as they work to find out.
