    The A Death in Cryptoland - The Curious Case of Gerald Cotten from CBC Podcasts trailer popped up in my feed a few weeks ago, and I was considering submitting it here, but figured it was probably better to wait until they actually released it instead. Nice to see they released a longform article on the subject too.

    p.s. The podcast, for those interested in listening to it:

    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. Hosted by Takara Small.
