What's Exit Scam about?

In 2018, Gerald Cotten, the founder of Canada's biggest Bitcoin exchange, died under mysterious circumstances during 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 here's the thing: Not everyone believes he's dead.
Exit Scam is about what really happened to Gerald Cotten and the fortune that disappeared with him.
