Imagine waking up one day and discovering that $190,000,000 in crypto has suddenly become inaccessible. One person could explain exactly what happened.
You might already be thinking about the person responsible… but let me reveal the name.
His name was Gerald Cotten, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX.
For years, thousands of users trusted the platform to store their Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But there was one detail almost nobody knew. According to the company, Gerald Cotten was the only person in the world who had access to the exchange’s private keys.
Then something happened that still puzzles the entire crypto industry.
In 2018, during a trip to India, Gerald Cotten suddenly died. With him, the keys that supposedly controlled around $190 million in user funds were gone forever.
No access. No backups. No way to recover the crypto.
Some people believe it was simply a tragic accident. Others think it could be one of the most mysterious stories in the history of crypto.
And to this day, many people in the industry still ask the same question:
What do you think really happened to QuadrigaCX’s missing millions? 👇
