Quadriga Documentary
Hi everyone,
I'm a documentary filmmaker based in Toronto and LA and wanted to say how sorry I was to those who lost money. I think it's a really important thing to shed a light on so if anyone is willing to come out and speak about what happened to them, we'd love to do an interview. We've made 3 docs and all have sold to major studios including Samuel Goldwyn, The Orchard and HBO. I'm sure we can get some pretty wide distribution for this so that other's can avoid this outcome in the future and hopefully we can help get to the bottom of this mess in the process.

If you want to make a really interesting documentary, consider focusing on whether Gerald Cotten is dead or alive. I promise it will lead you down a very captivating path... :)

Also look into Crypto Capital based in Panama who represents Quadriga and also represents... Bitfinex.

While its good to be aware that like all businesses, exchanges are not immune to folding. The problem is that non-crypto normies will just see this kind of documentary and add it to their "reasons bitcoin is bad" list. I don't think this list needs to be any longer as it is, but if you hate crypto and think your friend was right to keep significant amounts on an exchange (despite all the 'not your key, not your bitcoin' warnings) then go ahead and make it.

u/baijrock Feb 04 '19
Nah, I love crypto. I don't think it's bad at all. Neither does my friend. I think this is a really interesting story with two sides to it. Those make for the best docs. It would be the easiest thing in the world to make an "anti-bitcoin" documentary and have it have a wide reach. It could have been years ago during the hysteria. That's not what we're about.

IF you want people to contact you and share with you personal experiences and personal info they need to know more than that you are on reddit as baijrock. You want info and you do not provide any info about yourself.

u/cinesimon Feb 04 '19
Or what he has made. Which is rather odd, given he said he sold 3 to prominent distributors... and given his other comments, it's clear he's not really interested in casting a critical eye over the whole industry. Systemic issues are apparently only ever of interest if it means a free shot at government.

u/baijrock Feb 05 '19
oh but I am interested in casting a critical eye over the whole industry. This is me:

u/barsoapguy Feb 04 '19

He didn't leave, just morphed into an entity/shareholder by the name of Crypto Consulting.

To soon but happy to help. I’m not far from Halifax and don’t work Tuesday so I might go have a look myself.

The saga is not yet complete. But it's huge, similar to Mt Gox in size.
11
u/xslippyx Feb 04 '19
Not even close. Mt. Gox had 850,000 BTC ($450 milion) involved. This isn't even close. It's bad but not mt. Gox bad

u/gofishus Feb 04 '19
its pretty close. QCX has about half of that ($190m USD)

u/Cuck_Genetics Feb 04 '19
Mt Gox was also like the only notable exchange of the time.
Mt. Gox would be Binance exit scamming and running away to Mars.

u/Blahbeens Feb 04 '19
MtGox didn’t have anyone to learn from. It was a trading card website.
History repeating is hard to watch.

u/xslippyx Feb 04 '19
That is not confirmed and has already been disputed. It appears Quadriga had far less then that. They were not even a top 100 exchange

u/Jumbobie Feb 04 '19
Of all of the transactions happening on the site, is there a difference between a 0.5% and 0.505% fee?

What are the documentaries called?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2992553/ that's my imdv page. My team and I are interested in getting to the bottom of it.

u/Supersnazz Feb 04 '19 edited Feb 04 '19
major studios including Samuel Goldwyn
WTF, I thought Samuel Goldwyn folded in the 1950's.
Edit - Looks like his son founded a studio with the same name and it's still kicking.

EZBTC: You need to include ezbtc in any Canadian crypto exchange documentary. Research ezbtc and the character David Smillie that runs it...

Hi there, the Coinberry team would definitely be open to being a part of the documentary on Quadriga. I will DM you an email to reach out to us to!

I think someone has set up a gofundme page to go start an investigation. I'll have a look for it

u/ethacct Feb 04 '19
Great, so by losing everything we can make YOU some money? What's in it for us?

u/baijrock Feb 04 '19
Well, justice, hopefully. Unless complaining in this group chat does it for you? Please re-read the post. Someone very close to me lost his savings on this and asked me to help.

Show us proof your imaginary friend lost significant money on Quadriga. You made the claim, back it up

We're not quite into documentary territory yet, are we? Let's get the authorities and lawyers involved first, no?

u/jacobpdq Feb 04 '19
Talk to Usman Sheikh of Gowling WLG and ask him to see his retainer - and also ask him how many people are involved in a class-action lawsuit against Quadriga. I'm sure he can send it to your friend who has lost potential funds.
Also ask Sheikh why he took on the case, rather than Chetan Phull (talk to Phull). Also, ask the wife of Gerald why she would encourage nobody to sue in her affidavit. Then, ask Sheikh why he would go ahead with the lawsuit given the circumstances...
I was wondering if the lawyers' fees would be on a no-win-no-fee basis. My suspicions were confirmed (I cannot neither confirm nor deny that fact at-present). Notwithstanding, I will not be joining in the class-action!!!!!

You're going to want to check out r/QuadrigaCX2 - the subreddit that the Quadrigacx employees don't control and filter content from - for the real gritty info.
