2019-02-02 | Digital exchange loses $137 million as founder takes passwords to the grave | Ars Technica

'Robertson testified that Cotten stored the cold wallet on an encrypted laptop that only he could decrypt. '

'Following standard security practices by many holders of cryptocurrency, QuadrigaCX stored the vast majority of its cryptocurrency holdings in a “cold wallet,” meaning a digital wallet that wasn’t connected to the Internet. '

'British Columbia-based QuadrigaCX is unable to access most or all of another $53 million because it’s tied up in disputes with third parties. '

'Robertson testified that Cotten died of Crohn’s disease in India in December at the age of 30. '

'The affidavit was filed Thursday by Jennifer Robertson, widow of QuadrigaCX’s sole director and officer Gerry Cotten. '
