Who was Gerry Cotten and what did he do?
Canadian Bitcoin investor Gerald Cotten founded cryptocurrency trading platform Quadriga CX, which at one point held around £97 million of money owned by its customers. Many suspected that Cotten may have been involved with some shady people, and the man himself passed away from complications from Crohn’s disease while honeymooning in India in 2018.
At the time of his death, his company claimed that only he had the passwords needed to access all the money, and that led to a belief that he may in fact still be alive. So strong is the theory in some quarters that there have been calls for his body to be exhumed so it can be proven once and for all whether he was the person buried. Quadriga CX soon went bankrupt and an investigation into all that happened remains ongoing. Cotten’s will was put together only four days before his death.
