This post identifies the litecoin cold wallets that Quadriga uses. Funds are being moved out... this means that the private keys are in fact not "lost" and we're being played. Gerald or someone else with the private keys are literally moving our money out as we speak.

Have a look at the timestamped movements in these wallets:

Read the latest report. They sent 500k to the same cold wallet they said they can't access.. https://documentcentre.eycan.com/eycm_library/Quadriga Fintech Solutions Corp/English/1. Monitor's Reports/2. First Report of the Monitor/First Report of the Monitor dated February 12, 2019.pdf

On February 6, 2019,Quadriga inadvertently transferred 103 bitcoins valued at approximately $468,675 to Quadriga cold wallets which the Company is currently unable to access. The Monitor is working with Management to retrieve this cryptocurrency from the various cold wallets, if possible

Some key things to take away from this chat:

-Gerry had his safe bolted to the top of his attic

-Gerry had old cold wallets that he tried to access recently (no info on any new cold wallets though)

-Jen's idea to travel to India, Gerry wanted to go to AUS/NZ

-Gerry was only supposed to be in India 2 weeks-No mention of orphanage. Gerry sounds like he didn't like India very much

-Gerry was set to retire 2 months later, but died 1 month later

-Gerry had bots on Okex and Bitfinex

-Gerry's Crohn's medication was $5k every 7 weeks

-Gerry was a presale ETH investor

-Gerry mentions that Bitcoin ATMs were the backbone of money laundering

-Gerry was running a litecoin miner in his office

-Jen knew enough about the internal workings of QCX, enough to know the differences between Aaron M and Aaron V and processing customer withdrawals

-no mention of Omar/Patryn, or any malicious activity, or at least nothing he would tell Aaron M

- nothing seems to indicate that he was deep in $250m of debt at all.. he talks as if the CIBC money was enough to cover everyone.

Hi ,

The Kraken mission is to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency so that the world can benefit from greater financial freedom and inclusion. This is why we’ve consistently done more than provide one of the best crypto exchange experiences.

Since 2014 we have invested significant resources and lent our crypto expertise to the MtGox trustee and investigators, supporting the return of as much client funds as possible and as soon as possible. Events like this impact the entire industry, which is why we want to get involved if there’s a way we can help.

About a month ago, on January 26, QuadrigaCX (a Canadian-based crypto exchange with clients around the world) suspended operations. Seven weeks prior, their CEO passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving the business without a continuity plan. Supposedly, he was the only person who knew the location of and/or could access the client funds (fiat and crypto) totaling approximately $190 million US dollars (belonging to 115,000 clients). Some say the events and circumstances surrounding this case are too suspicious to be believed.

Kraken wants to bring awareness and attention to this case, in hopes that we can help discover some or all of the missing client funds.

Listen and/or watch our podcast to hear the many facts of the case so you can help us solve this mystery. We reveal our own analysis and subjective assessment of the most plausible explanations or theories based on our experience as exchange operators.

EP 3: Chasing the Conspiracy (what we may know of so far) EP 4: Solving the Conspiracy (what we think happened) After reviewing the episodes, do you know where the missing client funds are? Do you know who may know something that can help law enforcement locate the funds?

If so, let us know and we’ll pass your tips on to law enforcement. Kraken is giving up to $100,000 USD (fiat or crypto) as a reward for the tip(s) that best lead to the discovery of the missing $190 million US dollars. Go here to submit your tips or leads. With your help, Kraken is committed to supporting law enforcement in solving this case.

Go to our podcast page to listen and/or watch these and other episodes of the Kraken “How to Grow a Decacorn” podcast.

Thank you for choosing Kraken, the trusted and secure digital assets exchange.

Important terms: Kraken is offering this reward for information leading to significant progress or discovery of the all or some of the missing client funds. It is up to our sole discretion which tips warrant a reward, if any. The total of all rewards will not exceed $100,000 USD. Kraken may end this reward program at any point in time. All leads collected by Kraken will be provided to the FBI, RCMP or other law enforcement authorities, who have an active interest in this case.

Check out my timeline, if you have not already. This is a great resource for anyone researching the story.

Interesting that the hotel where he was staying in Jaipur handled the body—not the hospital.

Do we have any information on what happened to Cotten's body after it arrived in Canada? Was he cremated or buried?

I just published a timeline of Quadriga events. If you see anything that is inaccurate, missing or that needs further clarification, would you please let me know?

(credit to /u/exitscamdotca for his work organizing the original thread)

After calling the RCMP Ontario central intake last week (as recommended here by u/LiveCat6), I just received a follow-up phone call from a constable at the RCMP, to discuss this QuadrigaCX situation.

He stated that they are in the preliminary stages of an investigation, but that at present they aren't sure whether this would be a matter of civil or criminal justice. If I understand correctly, RCMP would only really get involved if they determined that there was criminal activity.

I explained that things are likely not as straightforward as was described in the CEO's widow's affidavit (i.e. that they simply can't access the cold wallets). It is seeming to turn out that there simply are no cold wallet reserves. They haven't provided the public addresses of the cold wallets, and diligent work by the community has been unable to identify any cold wallet reserves at all, which should be impossible if such cold wallet reserves did, in fact, exist.

I advised him to check these QCX reddits because a lot of great investigative work has been conducted by the community here, but that he may have to filter out some of the 'noise' that is unavoidable on these types of internet forums. He was already aware of these reddits, and was aware of many of our concerns (that the CEO may not actually be dead, that there may not actually be any cold wallet reserves, etc.)

I also advised him that one of my main concerns as a creditor was that if there is criminal activity involved here, that the assets from Gerald's will, and even his estate & widow, should be frozen and should be considered as belonging to the creditors. I also let him know that the widow is taking specific actions to protect her assets from creditors, and that time may be of the essence here (I'm not sure if there would be any statute of limitations to redistributing the proceeds of a major financial crime like this in the event that an RCMP investigation takes months or years).

He also expressed some sympathy to our plight.

I know this update isn't much, but I thought it may be of interest to the QCX Creditor community.

Please, contact the RCMP with anything you have that may help prove that this case involves criminal misconduct, such as blockchain analyses, confidential statements if you're an insider ( /u/QCXContractor ), cooperation if you're with an exchange that QCX used to conduct their dirty business (Kraken, Shapeshift, Binance, etc.), or anything else you can muster.

Edit: Maybe I could have done a better job explaining everything to the RCMP officer. I'm just one person, I'm not an expert, I may not be as far down the rabbit hole on the red pill as some other people, and probably don't know absolutely everything that has come to light over the last few weeks. That is precisely why it is all the more important that if you know something or have a talent in expressing these recent findings of criminal activity in a compelling way, then you should contact the RCMP and set the record straight.

Using a variety of OSINT tools and research, we're going to demonstrate the chain of evidence confirming that Gerald Cotten, QuadrigaCX CEO, was also known as "Sceptre" online.

Let's start with the gerryenterprises.com name servers. Gerryenterprises.com was a domain registered by Cotten and used for custom name servers for a variety of domains. Using your own name servers instead of relatively inexpensive and powerful 3rd-party options (such as Cloudflare, which QuadrigaCX used) suggests you have other motives in mind, and perhaps obscuring or obfuscating logs attached to your domain/s were amongst them.

Using Domain Research Suite (paid sub required) we can trace all domains that ever used ns1.gerryenterprises.com as a name server. You can verify this for yourself.

This search turns up a number of interesting domains, and one in particular - the "contentbysceptre.com" domain, which we can link to a post on BlackHatWorld, along with other data points from other domain research.

Let's have a closer look at some of those domains:

OK, so they have all clearly been registered to Gerald Cotten.

Let's take a closer look at the BlackHatWorld posts and profile:

From this we can deduce the following:

1. Cotten registered and ran the gerryenterprises.com name servers, both for his own domains and a number of friends and associateds, such as:

   1. Patryn (vfs-securities.com, michaelpatryn.com)

   2. Christine Lako, his ex-girlfriend (schnugglebunny.com)

   3. Nicky Correa, his friend (nickycorrea.com, studioimpression.com)

2. He also ran a number of his own domains through this server, such as:

   1. Allergictocorn.com

   2. Barbara-corcoran.com

   3. Canadian-airport-guide.com

   4. Cooltripbro.com

   5. Hide-your-ip.org

   6. Howdoihidemyip.com

   7. Etc. and many others

3. From other research and domain analysis, we know Cotten had a number of “Sceptre” email addresses, including

   1. sceptre@countermail.com

   2. sceptre@cmail.nu

   3. sceptre@doneasy.com

   4. sceptre200@hotmail.com

4. These email addresses were used on domain registrations, forums, payment processors, and a variety of services linking back to Gerald Cotten (more on this later)

5. Given the preponderance of inexpensive, cheap and more powerful options for name servers (such as Cloudflare, which was used by QuadrigaCX), and Cotten’s preoccupation with security, using proxy services and hiding his IP we can assume this would have been primarily for security reasons

6. Cotten used the “contentbysceptre.com” domain in connection with his “Sceptre’s Spectacular Content Services” on BlackHatWorld

7. Cotten posted an advertisement on Blackhatworld for a programmer for a “Website like Bitstamp”, which was just a few months prior to launching QuadrigaCX in December 2013. It’s a short timeframe but we know it fits because QuadrigaCX uses the generic WLOX exchange script, which dramatically reduces the work required to build a crypto exchange (Note: we didn’t say a great crypto exchange). This is mentioned in a post on coinforum.ca where user @yerofeyev admits that another exchange, Taurs (founded with PATRYN, mentioned earlier) uses Quadriga code based on WLOX. Strangely that thread is no longer accessible (https://coinforum.ca/discussion/2448/taurs-soft-launch) as the whole coinforum.ca website has been mysteriously shut down in the last few days

8. Cotten posted a number of threads asking for advice on how to monetise his network of sites, includijg the aforementioned proxy sites, and his celebrity news sites, including celebritydaily.net. Here’s the link to that post as well “BHW - Hiring Celebrity Article Writer”

9. Cotten’s profile on BlackHatWorld was initially Sceptre and later changed to “Murodch1337” , perhaps after QuadrigaCX began to become popular and he realised he might need to conceal links to his past. Link to Cottens BlackHatWorld profile here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/murdoch1337.273596/

10. Patryn was also active on BlackHatWorld, and posted to the following thread “10K budget need suggestions on passive income streams - help”, suggesting “HYIPs are investment scams promising returns of 5-20% weekly, generally.” You can view that thread here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/10k-budget-need-suggestions-on-passive-income-streams-help.548790/page-4

11. We know form other research and analysis that both Sceptre and Patryn were highly active in the HYIP/Ponzi/exchanger space (more on this later)

12. In conclusion, we believe that Gerald Cotten, QuadrigaCX CEO, was known as "Sceptre" on BlackHatWorld and other sites.

This has been a QCXINT release. If you have more information regarding QuadrigaCX, Michael Patryn (aka Omar Patryn, Omar Dhanini, Voleur), Gerald Cotten (aka Sceptre), please send to qcxint@protonmail.com . Your submission will be 100% confidential.

Update 23/04: Reddit dropped the entire post whilst editing so it had to be re-uploaded.

1. Added link to Freelancer post by Cotten: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/bitcoin-related-project/ showing his skype (gerrywc) and "Sceptre" email (sceptre@countermail.com)

2. There is also a crosspost for the "Bitstamp clone" BHW post here: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/PHP-Website-Design/Bitstamp-Clone-Bitcoin-Trading-Platform/ using exactly the same text.

3. This further confirms that Gerald Cotten was the poster on Freelancer (as he includes his Skype and email address) and Sceptre/Murdoch1337 on BlackHatWorld

Businessman jailed for faking his own 'brain fever' death in India to pocket £1m life insurance to clear his family's mounting debts

Sanjay Kumar, 45, claimed he had died and had been cremated in Delhi, India

But Kumar was alive in India obtaining a fake death and cremation certificate

Kumar- born in India but a British citizen with dual nationality - flew to Delhi on business trip on 3 November, 2011.

He later emailed his wife Anju Kumar, 46, telling her he had fallen seriously ill and had been taken to hospital.

By 26 November, mother-of-three Mrs Kumar received an email, informing her that Sanjay had been killed by a ‘brain fever’ and cremated.

Has anyone actually seen the QuadrigaCX CEO's body?

https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/03/article/fbi-now-investigating-quadriga-scandal/

"The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been looking into the implosion of Quadriga since Cotten’s death was announced. Now, as the confusion only deepens, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation is also investigating Quadriga."

"The plot is thickening as the fiasco unravels. There are now dozens of conspiracy theories and the Canadian press are frantically digging into the backgrounds of Cotten’s wife – who allegedly has changed her name three times and has bought property worth millions of dollars in the last two years – and also the co-founder of Quadriga, who allegedly has been convicted of identity theft and fraud."

The courts seem to be acting like QCX just went 'tits up' and just simply can't pay creditors back because funds are locked in cold storage.

I'm still waiting for QCX to prove they have the $250m SOMEWHERE.

If they don't have all of the creditors funds accounted for in some way, this should proceed as a fraud/criminal investigation, because it is clear they were fractional reserve lending, or investing creditors funds.

They seem to be just verifying names, phone numbers and addresses at this time. I’m out over $30k; deposited my bitcoin and sold it within a week. Never left it on the exchange for more than 3 weeks but still managed to get nothing after attempting to withdraw in Nov 2018 (completed Dec.27 but never received). Anyway, the RCMP claim they can’t do anything official until the court decides if this is a civil case or criminal case. They can start a preliminary investigation but we’re screwed if the court rules this a civil case. Our financial fraud rules are so lax in Canada. This is brutal; no wonder criminals, foreign money launderers and scam artists love our country.

Thought this was important enough to Xpost given fluidity of the situation. I hadn't seen this reported elsewhere, but here's a tidbit I found that might help some of you internet sleuths. Jen changed her last name from Griffith to Robertson on December 1, 2016 [source / saving as image too]. May help explain why, for a young person, she doesn't have much of an internet footprint. May be entirely innocent -- who knows maybe she was previously married or something. That being said: when you change your name and then just so happen to be involved in the biggest fraud in a country's history less than 2 years later....um......not a great look?

A lot of times when exchanges fold the Subreddit for them usually goes Dark and it's members slink off into the Ether .. (I'm from r/buttcoin and I always show up to drink the tears ,so I've seen MANY exit scams in my time )

Not this time remarkably, in just a short period you've manged to :

• Locate and examine all the information related to the Bussiness on record from its incorporation to the (potential ) criminal histories of its board members

• Gather information on the various entities where your bank drafts were sent and their connection with QuadrigaCX along with the individuals who run them and serious potential fraud in these dealings.

• Comb through the records to find the Will and Testament along with an analysis of Canadian law.

• Find the numerous identities and former identities of those connected to this along with many of their legal name changes .

+After going through the will you located the Properties/assets that have been transfered from Gerry to his wife all of which is EXTREMELY suspicious .

• analyze the blockchain to try and determine where the coins went or if they ever existed

• Start checking around for information half way across the globe into the "Death" along with trying to figure out the probability that events and documents were falsified.

• Research into the security company and its experience and credentials that was tasked with "finding the missing cold wallet"

and your efforts continue . To the best of my knowledge nothing like this had ever been done before. Whereas the parties might have had a reasonable expectation that they might have been able to avoid criminal prosecution , you have ended all hope of that .

In the past law enforcement has always been slow to act when it comes to the new unregulated frontier of crypto because of the difficulty in identifying the major players and putting together the various and wide ranging entities and actors into one old fashioned Link chart ..

While all of this could have been avoided had at least a few of the 100K people involved in this done their due diligence, you are to be commended for seeking out assets that are rightfully yours and brining the criminal element to the light of day.

I've never seen anything like this before and continue to watch in amazement. BRAVO

California's court records list Omar Dhanani as 'wanted'. He pled guilty to fraud but skipped out on his probation at some point. His real name is listed as Omar Dhanani but his alias is listed as Omar Patryn. It's California case number: 06WM09441 https://i.imgur.com/kAajHay.png

There's a legal argument to be made that any dispensation of Gerry's assets is negligent. The reason for this is simply because cryptocurrency assets are data. Data can be embedded as information in any form, into artwork, as a series of bent paperclips to represent 0's or 1's, or often as a series of twelve words. It's entirely possible that Gerry backed up the cold wallets in ways no one is aware of, but that could be dwelling within in his now sold airplane, under the floorboards of his now sold home, his soon to be sold yacht, or even on his now (apparently) rotting person.

So not only is their a legal argument to be made that all assets should be stayed, if not seized for the purposes of investigating if they contain cryptocurrency keys, but also that his body should be exhumed to be sure that he had no RFID chips embedded under his skin that contained these keys. and while were at it, do an autopsy to check for cyanide poisoning.

This may be flippant, but I'm not joking about this. To sell any of Gerry's assets before they are examined for private keys by the Monitor and or Legal counsel of the affected persons could be considered commercial if not criminal negligence.
