Shouldn’t there be a ledger somewhere of transactions tied to those coins?
Like maybe a distributed ledger of some sort?
That is publicly available for everyone to read?

#32This guy is alive (or dead, but not due to Crohn's Disease complications, as stated initially). This is not a conspiracy theory anymore. It's clear there's a massive fraud behind all these events.
As a mod for r/CrohnsDisease, it really sucks that this is how most people are first hearing about the disease. Those with IBD already have a difficult time with people not believing they’re sick or that symptoms aren’t that bad since they’re not visible. Now Crohn’s will be associated with this fool using it as an excuse to steal a bunch of money... such a huge disappointment.

#33For some reason this sounds like the plot of a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. CEO of Crypto Company... 1) Takes time off to build orphanage in region noted for fake deaths. 2) Subsequently dies unexpectedly. 3) Is immediately cremated. 4) Wife waits a month before saying "oh by the way he is dead" 5) Wife claims all keys on encrypted laptop 6) World watches as wallets mysteriously empty 7) Experts crack laptop 8)…
Perhaps blockchains’ lasting impact will be as an overused plot device in future period pieces set in the early 21st century.

#34How did they crack the Laptop? Just Bruteforcing a bad password or 0Day-ing the Encryption?
Supposedly it was done by an ex-police officer that doesn’t seem to have a particular specialization in the subject.
They were of the founder’s wife’s choosing.
Quite possibly they did more harm than good.

#35Why is nobody talking about the convicted felon, Omar Dhanani aka Michael Patryn, who is a co-founder and majority shareholder of Quadriga?
Dhanani is very much alive, and is known to have been involved in money laundering schemes. If I were an investigator in this case, that is the first door I would go knocking at.

You can still commit fraud and die of Crohn's Disease. I'd still call this a conspiracy theory (I'll also say that "conspiracy theory" doesn't mean untrue, though we tend to use it as a substitute for "crack pot"). But to quote Sagan "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
I do agree with this part:
> It's clear there's a massive fraud
But that doesn't mean he's alive or that there was a coverup in his death.

#37Banks and actual currencies still have a bright future.
Oh, there’s lots of missing fiat in this case too. Not just crypto.

#38I think it might pay off to spread the mugshot of this character far and wide. There is a non zero chance that he's not dead at all.
Yes, to make it easier for vigilante justice to find, and kill someone some unlucky sap who looks like Gerald.

For rare diseases there is no such thing as bad publicity. This might even lead to someone with IBD being curious enough to get checked out.

I really doubt that this is how most people are first hearing of Crohn's disease.
