In a previous post I discussed the importance of accounting for digital assets in the context of the mysterious death of a Canadian cryptocurrency entrepreneur who had suddenly died while visiting India only weeks after implementing an estate plan but failing to account for nearly $150 million in cryptocurrency assets. You can read that here. His company claimed that the assets were frozen on a laptop and that he was the only one who knew the password.
Well, security experts were finally able to hack into his laptop to retrieve the funds. However, what they found was that digital assets had been siphoned out of the laptop nearly 6 months prior to his supposed death. I would say this is even more evidence that Mr. Cotten is still alive somewhere. More on the story here!
