The family of ex-OpenAI researcher and whistleblower Suchir Balaji, who died unexpectedly and under strange circumstances, is seeking financial aid from the crypto community to help fund their quest for justice. His mother, Poornima Rao, has appealed to this community via social media, disclosing a Solana wallet address where contributions can be made towards their legal endeavors.
As reported by Balaji’s family, the accumulated funds are intended to hire a lawyer. Lately, they have signed a contract worth $100,000, which serves as the initial move in their pursuit of understanding surrounding his demise.
For the cause of justice for Suchir, we have engaged an attorney at a cost of 100,000 dollars. This is just the start. We invite you to join us in this fight. To contribute, please use the following Solana wallet address:

On social media platform X (previously known as Twitter), Poornima Rao called upon her followers to join the cause, stressing that it marked the start of a lengthy endeavor. “Kindly back us in this fight,” she penned, including her Solana wallet address for contributions: Q4eXHNPsnQoPvsRAdgH6TjT66eWEk7y6JniTd9ru4N3.
Amazingly, generous donations flooded in over a two-hour period, totaling 587.83 SOL (around $126,979). This swift outpouring of support underscores the broad concern and thirst for justice related to Suchir Balaji’s passing circumstances.
The family is demanding justice since they have raised concerns about the police report stating that Balaji’s death was a suicide. They claim that a second private autopsy did not support this theory, as it found no definitive evidence for it. Poornima Rao has openly challenged the findings of the initial investigation and called for a closer look at the circumstances surrounding her son’s demise.
26-year-old Indian-American researcher named Suchir Balaji, who had previously worked at OpenAI, was discovered deceased in his San Francisco apartment on November 26, 2023. It took 15 days for his identity to become public knowledge. Although the police concluded it as a suicide, there has been no evidence found suggesting anything other than self-inflicted harm, which has left his family questioning other possibilities.
Elon Musk, the CEO of X Technology, has expressed doubts about the official account of the incident involving Balaji, suggesting that his death might not have been a suicide as suggested by police reports. This statement has fueled further public discussion and worry over the circumstances surrounding the young whistleblower’s demise.
