Gerald Cotten died in 2018 while on a honeymoon trip to India. His customers were told that the $215 million they’d deposited on the exchange was lost forever — because Gerry had forgotten to leave behind his passwords.

But soon accountants discovered it wasn’t actually frozen. It was gone. The vaults had been emptied out 8 months before Cotten died.

And that’s not all: Not everyone believes Gerry is dead.

Alongside a small team, Lammer has spent the last two years investigating what really happened with Cotten and Quadriga. He tells the whole unbelievable story over 8 episodes, starting today.
