That's just the hopium talking. Money is stolen. Guy goes to part of India known for fake death certificates. Does his will weeks before his "death" and transferred 15 properties to his wife before he died. And he left 100k to his fucken dogs. Wife is currently transferring properties to a trust in an attempt to separate them from the creditors (the users)
Also upon further chain analyse it looks like there was tremendous efforts to obfuscate the wallet addresses by dispersing funds and parking.
And to top it off CIBC only froze their account because Jose Reyes transfer over a million into his personal account. CIBC froze the account because they sketched out. And They kept contacting the now "dead" ceo. and he kept ignoring them. Making the account stay frozen longer. This happen months before he "died"
I never heard about all of this other stuff happening, that's pretty indicative of some top-tier bullshit. If anything, I'm more impressed that he had so much money behind him, or at least enough for 15 properties, because if I remember correctly Quadriga was based out of Vancouver, or at least had some office there. Their website shows Nova Scotia being involved, though, so I don't know. 15 properties in NS wouldn't be as surprising as 15 in Vancouver.
Ah well, it was one of the few decent exchanges in Canada while it lasted. Now, I don't know who's actually a decent exchange and I'd rather stay away from localbitcoins, at least as long as I can. Maybe Kraken will be the solution, but I'll have to dive deeper into it to find out. Not surprised this happened, I had a feeling the good times were going on for too long.
