From what is known about the case so far, Cotten’s death in December, 2018 has been linked to Crohn’s disease — which is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to a report by BNJ Crypto News.

Later, investors in Cotten’s Bitcoin exchange platform QuadrigaCX met with the unfortunate news that they had lost their money because only Cotten had access to the exchange’s cold storage wallet.

Lawyers representing the people who lost their money have asked for permission to exhume Cotten’s remains to examine his identity as well as detailed cause of demise.

The Netflix documentary will depict events around the scandal under the direction of
Luke Sewell, known for his projects such as No Place to Call Home (2016), Generation Gifted (2018) and I Dream of Variety (2008).

Twitter is abuzz with excitement on this upcoming documentary.

This should be a good one. The biggest Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX stole over $250mil in cash and crypto from users and the CEO was apparently the only one with the private keys to the main wallet. Of course he “accidentally” died in India shortly after. https://t.co/EqdFewmQSN
