      Don't G.I. doctors advise sufferers of Crohns against travelling to third-world countries simply because poor sanitation and water quality can be counter to effective treatment of the disease? If he really had Crohns it is doubtful he would desire to go to India for his honeymoon. But because this unsupported cover story combined with ease of obtaining a bogus death certificate "would fit" India then that's the escape plan. The marriage was likely more of a business partnership with someone who could play the grieving widow as well as leverage the real estate holdings and cash (she's probably got miillions in currency or gold somewhere) in order to keep them. For these reasons it is hard to take Cotten's death at face value. The thing is he's probably not as high of priority for the governments of Canada and the US since incidents of major loses by investors play into these government's desires to make crypto-currencies un-attractive. If they do aggressively try to find him, which seems doubtful, it will be more due to money laundering. Since that is no longer happening due to "his death" that seems like a long-shot. Obviously the man is a smart criminal. But, he's also shown he's greedy and in time it's probably that greed that will out him living a new identity still coniving and stealing. He may slip up yet.

    This story stands out to me. I'm from Belize, and there's a rich business man that lives in a town about an hour away from where I do. The story that's known here about him is eerily similar. Canadian involved in a crypto scam, faked his death and moved here for the sole purpose of hiding. I heard about this at around mid-2019 and he is still around and not subtle about his wealth.

      Money is an important tool for humanity, we need it to trade and get basic needs, I doubt it will go anytime soon. The problem is not the money, but the users and the lack of regulations that let people and other parties to exploit the imperfect economic and financial system for their own gains by the loss of others.
