A mystical exchange: five suspicious facts about the death of the CEO of QuadrigaCX
Source:
Recently in Bloomblerg has information that QuadrigaCX CEO Gerald Cotten legally changed his will 12 days before his death. The last will of the deceased to transfer the assets to his wife, Jennifer Robertson. The truth of the whole story still remains in question, as it envelops a lot more mystical .
theco-Founder of QuadrigaCX impersonating another person
A year ago in the Internet appeared rumors that the co-founder of the exchange Michael Patrin is actually quite a well-known crook Omar, Danni. Danani, was a member of the Shadowcrew hacker gang, in 2005 he was found guilty in several crimes.
So I saw a claim that Omar Dhahani is really Michael Patryn of the Quandringa Exchange.
Omar Dhanani has a pretty easy to find criminal history.
He also used the name Omar Patryn as an aka in a 2005 forfeiture case.
So.

According to lawyer Steven Pelley, scammer also used the name Omar Patrin in one of the criminal schemes. This same alias, a registered company Midas Gold Exchange. However, Pelley did not provide conclusive evidence of his words.
In any case, the fact that identity theft is already a serious problem for the reputation of QuadrigaCX. We will remind, earlier representatives of the exchange said that Michael Patrin left the company a few years ago.
theProblems with banks
In October of last year Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce froze about 22 million dollars in accounts belonging to QuadrigaCX. The Bank's management stated that it was not able to find the real owner of the funds. Next, between the company and the Bank was followed by a series of bickering.
CIBC were not sure whether they should return the money or not. They received 388 requests from the alleged «owners» accounts, but none of these appeals and was not satisfied.
thethe Crypt is impossible to hide
Another incredible fact — no one there is still no clear evidence that the market is really owned $ 150 million in cryptocurrency at the time of closure/death of Cotto.

thea Month of silence after the death of the founder
According to the certificate of Gerald Cotto, founder of QuadrigaCX passed away on December 9 in India. His wife claims that at the time Gerald was engaged in the opening of the orphanage. Immediately after this date the Affairs of the exchange went downhill, but its representatives did not betray publicity the death of their chief. By the way, his name in the document is misspelled.
Jack…. look at the Death Certi… the name is even spelt wrong!

While it most likely is a rather annoying coincidence. Local bodies in India often have difficulty with correct pronunciation of Western names. But the fact of the silence of death Cotto still is a very suspicious circumstance.
theCotten changed his will two weeks before death
It is Logical to leave your family an inheritance, if you have to manage huge assets. About Cotto always was known to be a very careful person — all the important financial Affairs of the company he kept single-handedly, he kept the keys to cold wallets of exchanges on your own laptop with serious protection against burglary.
The CEO of QuadrigaCX Profile on LinkedIn for quite a long time remains inactive. But what if someone else had access to his personal data? Who knows anything of his personal life Cotto? Until all the threads of suspicion lead to his wife, but solid evidence of her guilt or innocence either. In any case, this story definitely needs to continue, to follow which can be in our .
