TRUST NO ONE : THE HUNT FOR CRYPTO KING (REVIEW)

 This is a Netflix documentary on Gerald Cotton aka Gerry, the founder and CEO of QUADRIAGACX, the husband of Jennifer Robertson, who died in India on December 9, 2018 of Crohn's Disease. There are still questions on peoples lips if he's dead or alive because his death and everything surrounding his death seems suspicious. It is alleged that he faked his own death, did plastic surgery and now hiding. 

He started QuadriagaCX in Canada in 2013 for buying and selling Bitcoin and business was going smooth till when Bitcoin price skyrocket in 2017 and people started investing heavily to benefit from the new price and QuadriagaCX turns out to be highly recommended on where to trade Bitcoin.

Tong  Zou, a software Engineer and a Youtuber as at that time was already thinking of how to quit his job and start travelling round the world, when he heard about the sudden rise of Bitcion he requested for a loan and he invested $85,000 on Bitcion while hoping to hit it big but he was disappointed as the price of Bitcion ridiculously dropped after he has invested so he is left with a loan of $85,000 and while he was thinking of how to pay back he decide to sell off his house and start a new life.

He sold his house and his other properties, got a sum of $400,000 in total and now needs a way to move his money to Canada where he planned to start a new life, He made a research and even though he could move his money through the bank, he didn't want to pay the 2% charges so he found QuadrigaCX online as one of the best trading platform in Canada so he traded all his $400,000 so he could withdraw when he gets to Canada. All was well till it was time to get the Bitcoin worth his money and he didn't get any response for hours which turns to days and month till Gerry death was announced on January 14th 2019 and that was when he confirmed he was in trouble and his money was gone.

Ali Mousavi an A.I consultant wanted to change career and while he waited for clarification on what to do next with his life he decide to trade Crypto currency and he invested $70,000 with QuadrigaCX which also disappeared with Gerry's death. Gerry died with a $190 million customer holdings. On investigation it was discovered that Gerry was the only one with access to the wallet and now that he's dead no one can have access to the account nor his wife Jenny which was declared a partner of the company.

This is where it get very suspicious and deeper investigations where conducted, people that went to the funeral said it was a closed casket so they can confirm if he was buried or not, on further investigations, they discovered that Michael Paytrn was the founder of QuadriagaCX since 2003 and not Gerry. Gerry has just been flaunting it as his while using it to perpetrate fraud. Michael was also discovered to be a criminal as he had facial surgery and change identity from Omar Dhanani to being Michael.

It was also discovered that he willed all his properties to Jenny his wife 12 days before his death and it was rumoured that his wife might have killed him to take over the properties, She has also changed her name thrice in the space of 3 years so who wouldn't think she is behind all this and It was said that she was happy and partying with her friend at the funeral which was strange for a widow. 

At the end of the day it was discovered that Gerry had uploaded no existing coins on QuadrigaCX and people had been buying fake coins. He ran a Ponzi scheme where he rob Pete to pay Paul. He got money from someone to pay the other but when there was a dip in Bitcoin, he couldn't continue paying them because he was also investing in other trading platforms abroad to get rich. It was also discovered that he has been operating scam since he was 14.

People are still yet to believe that he is dead as Crohn's diseases has a very low death rate but a doctor where he was admitted confirmed his death and also said there was no autopsy taken place for a man like Gerry. There are speculations on whether to dig up his grave and run a DNA on him to confirm his death or maybe he has just followed his mentor Michael to change his identity. Either ways, peoples money is missing and everyone is holding on hope and faith.

Gerry may resurrect one day but till then engage in this article
