Netflix to make documentary about QuadrigaCX Bitcoin saga

Giant A lineup of future real crime documentaries has been revealed by Netflix. Along with a second season of 'Tiger King,' a documentary on one of the most complicated Bitcoin stories to date is on the way. In 2022, the film 'Trust No One: The Hunt For The Crypto King' will be released. It revolves around a bunch of amateur detectives who started out as bitcoin investors.

According to Engadget, they are attempting to learn more about the mysterious death of crypto exchange founder Gerald Cotten and what happened to the $250 million they believe he stole from them. Cotten was the creator of QuadrigaCX, which was formerly the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Canada. He died in December 2018 as a result of complications from Crohn's diseases.

Cotten was the only person who knew the credentials to QuadrigaCX's offline crypto storage, according to his widow, Jennifer Robertson, which meant the digital currency, which was valued over $200 million CAD in early 2019, was no longer accessible. According to the article, online sleuths unearthed some startling information regarding the incident.

For one thing, Cotten donated all of his assets to Robertson in his will, which he drafted a month before he died. There was also talk that QuadrigaCX didn't have enough cash on hand to pay all of its creditors, and that Cotten faked his death and took the money with him. After declaring bankruptcy in 2019, the firm discontinued operations. 

The FBI began an investigation that year, requesting information from people who had lost money as a result of Cotten's murder and the collapse of QuadrigaCX. It's unclear whether the documentary will provide any solid facts regarding the saga's conclusion, but it should at the very least bring attention to one of the more intriguing crypto cases in recent years.

Also Netflix will start streaming in February 2022, 'The Tinder Swindler', a documentary about a conman who posed as a billionaire on the dating app, and the women who tried to stop him.
