Ne Faites Confiance à Personne

I watched this, and while I found it entertaining, it raised more questions than answers. I can't fathom why they didn't interview or at least investigate in more depth certain people. No interview with the reluctant wife I can understand, but what about Cotten's parents? Was the shady doctor the only staff at the hospital that the reporter talked to? I can think of a dozen questions that go unanswered. Ultimately, this documentary was a bit disappointing.

WOW this was frustrating. So many questions and ended so abruptly. I think they prob should have done this in another five years time and see what else comes out. Leaves you with an empty feeling.

Why should anyone trust something that at best is only real in some sort of cyberspace locker? Most of us have seen a bank vault at least from the outside. It is an imposing thing and it isn't just for show. It is due to extreme measures being taken to protect currency and physical things of value In this it seems utterly stupid to trust something that isn't physical that who knows who might have access to. Maybe I am behind the technological curve, but the whole idea of crypto-currency seems like it is the worst idea to build one's financial life around.

This is a fascinating story of greed and crime based on what on the surface seems like a very unlikely criminal named Gerald Cotten. It's a mystery in that no one will likely ever be sure of how Cotten lost his investors monies. It's also somewhat unclear if Cotten did, in fact, die in India. What is known is that Cotten did engage in a criminal Ponzi scheme to fund his own self. There are other mysteries too such as did his co-founder have a hand in the criminal activity? Did his wife have knowledge as well as complicity in the crime? This doc exposes a lot of the bad stuff yet certainly it lacks some definitive answers. It is a good warning about how crypt-currencies aren't the answer to any kind of better monetary system. See it and come to your own conclusions. Personally after seeing this I can see why the value of these supposed financial instruments is unsafe and best avoided. In a way we should be glad this shot over the bough is a real warning.

Over the next few years this same story will be told again many times, when you allow an international Ponzi scheme to go on for so long and I'm talking about cryptocurrency as a whole, unregulated, this is what happens. There's many exchanges across the world that have popped up and down in no time claiming to be regulated by FCA etc but ultimately until serious regulation is in place, this space will remain the Wild West.

The guy that transferred 400k in one transaction without doing any testing on that exchange needs his head testing.

Good documentary, if your not familiar with the world of crypto watch it, it shouldn't necessarily put you off investing, do your due diligence before you do.

The sister is as transparent as a pane of glass, don't believe a word she says.

For what it's worth, I doubt the death certificate is worth the paper it's written on, certainly not as much as the doctor received for producing it.

This documentary focuses on the conspiracy theory on the death of the founder rather than his wrong doings. They reason for investors losing money is explained at the end in just 5 mins. Rest of the time is spent on new conspiracy theories. One of the highlights is the person who wanted to save 2% bank charges and put all his money on this fraud company.
