About Exit Scam
Exit Scam is a podcast from Treats Media about a mysterious death and a missing fortune.
Host Aaron Lammer (Longform Podcast, CoinTalk) and producer Lane Brown (New York Magazine, Grantland) spent 2 years investigating Gerald Cotten, the founder of Canada’s biggest Bitcoin exchange, who died under mysterious circumstances during a honeymoon trip to India in December 2018.
Customers of Cotten’s exchange Quadriga were told that the $215 million they’d deposited was lost forever — because Gerry had forgotten to leave behind his passwords.
But not everyone believes he’s dead.
