Bitcoin Investor Who apos;died apos; Left 137M Of Customers apos; Money In Limbo

A Canadian investor whose sudden death in 2018 left $137 million of his clients' money in limbo had spent millions funding his own lavish lifestyle and had been in business with a white-collar criminal. 
Gerald Cotten, who was the 30-year-old founder of cryptocurrency trading platform Quadriga CX, died while he was on his honeymoon in in 2018.
The company kept his death secret for a month before announcing it and later declared bankruptcy after Cotten's wife, Terrarien Jennifer Robertson, revealed her late husband was the only person who had the passwords needed to access investors' funds.

That shifty behavior has sparked speculation that Cotten faked his demise, and is still alive. 
At the time of Cotten's death, Quadriga CX owed its 76,000 investors approximately $137 million ($215 million CAD). The country's biggest securities regulator ruled last year that Quadriga CX's collapse was due to a Ponzi scheme operated by Cotten. 
Investigations by the Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the FBI are ongoing after investors raised concerns about the mysterious timing of Cotten's death. 
Speculation among clients has been rife that Cotten may have faked his own death and they are pushing authorities to have his body exhumed in Canada to prove their theory.
