It was reported that the exchange’s founder, Gerald Cotten, recently died, and was the only person who knew a vital password.

With this news, the QuadrigaCX website has been down and in court filings, Cotten’s wife says that the company owes its users $250 million CAD ($190 million USD) and that to protect its users’ funds from hackers, a portion of its users coins were kept in a “cold wallet”. Which means all the users’ funds are stored on a device that is inaccessible.
