On November 30th, 2018, thirty-year old Gerald "Gerry" Cotten, then CEO of Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchange, traveled to India to open an orphanage and celebrate his honeymoon. Nine days later, he was allegedly dead due to Crohn's disease, and $215 million dollars in cash and cryptocurrency were suddenly missing. A month later, when his widow, Jennifer Robertson, announced his death to the world via a post on the Quadriga exchange website, creditors, journalists, regulators, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts alike jumped on the story, determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Gerry and who held the keys to the fortunes of 115,000 creditors. Through interviews with skeptics, independent journalists, financial analysts, compliance regulators, Gerry's friends, and real, everyday creditors, filmmaker Sheona McDonald fleshes out the story of Gerry's life, death, and business dealings in a compelling documentary with twists and turns at every step.
