Gerry Cotten, the CEO of the Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX, unexpectedly died when cryptocurrency prices crashed in 2018. Without Cotten, there were no passwords to retrieve the bitcoins — this meant that $190 million of customers' holdings were more or less locked inside an online black hole. Soon, conspiracy theories of Cotten faking his death started floating around. While diving into Cotten's mysterious passing, Netflix's "Trust No One" considers some of these theories as it follows a group of crypto investors who suspect Cotten may have stolen from them. The documentary also looks into Cotten's history of shady past dealings and gambling to create a more complicated picture of the tech leader.
