Gerald Cotten died in 2018 while on 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 soon accountants discovered it wasn’t actually frozen. It was gone. The vaults had been emptied out 8 months before Cotten died. 

And that’s not all: Not everyone believes Gerry is dead. 

Alongside a small team, Lammer has spent the last two years investigating what really happened with Cotten and Quadriga. He tells the whole unbelievable story over 8 episodes, starting today. 

ABOUT THE TEAM

Exit Scam was produced as a passion project by Lammer alongside Lane Brown (New York Magazine, Grantland) who co-wrote and co-produced it.
