Program: PRESENTS — A Death In Cryptoland

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

When the young CEO of Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchange is reported to have died while honeymooning in India, it sets off a cataclysmic chain of events that would leave about 76,000 people out of a quarter of a billion dollars and a trail of conspiracy theories around whether Gerald Cotten is dead or alive.

A Death in Cryptoland is an original podcast series about a crypto-tycoon, his secret past, his sudden demise, and an online sleuth's obsession to unravel the truth behind QuadrigaCX. nd CNN.
