Dateline: Crypto Currency

Knock, Knock. Where’s My Bitcoin

Over $190 million in deposits have disappeared into the ether after the CEO of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchange took the password to his grave.As a result, on Tuesday, a Vancouver court may appoint auditors Ernst & Young to act as an independent third party to oversee proceedings for Quadriga CX. The company applied for creditor protection in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court on Jan. 31 after delays and the inability to complete transactions.“For the past weeks, we have worked extensively to address our liquidity issues,” a company letter says. “Unfortunately, these efforts have not been successful.”Quadriga’s problems accelerated when CEO Gerald Cotten died unexpectedly at the age of 30 from Crohn’s disease while traveling in India on Dec. 9. His death was announced Jan. 14 on the company’s Facebook page by his widow, Jennifer Robertson, who also serves as the executor of his estate.The problem is that Cotten was the only person who knew the password to access up to $190 million in customer funds. The money is now “unavailable and some of it may be lost,” according to court filings by Robertson.”The laptop computer from which Gerry [Cotten] carried out the Companies’ business is encrypted, and I do not know the password or recovery key,” Robertson said in her filed affidavit. She even hired an expert, who was unable to break through the encryption to access the funds.

“Kramer Told Me It Was a Real Porsche!”

Jerry Seinfeld has been sued for allegedly selling an “inauthentic” Porsche for $1.5 million and failing to reimburse the buyer, according to a suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court, according to the New York Daily News. The car in question is a 1958 Porsche 356 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster that went under the hammer at the Gooding & Co. March 2016 Amelia Island auction, which featured a “Jerry Seinfeld Collection” of cars.That green Porsche coupe was denoted as being one of 56 that were factory-built with lightweight aluminum panels, and promotional materials for the auction touted it as “a highly sought-after four cam Porsche.” Seinfeld himself attended the auction, which saw the vehicle sold to a Brazilian company called Fica Frio. After having a “Porsche expert” pore over the vehicle, it was allegedly determined to be inauthentic in March 2017, per the suit, citing a lack of photographs during the restoration. The suit also claims Seinfeld himself left a voicemail this past June, apologizing for the “nuisance.”
