Well, yes. The original story ("Cotten was honest, Quadriga was on the up and up, Cotten just randomly died and weirdly was the only one who had access to the funds") has been disproven ten times over. So no, no benefit of the doubt here; obviously there was some sort of scam going on. The question is, what? There's a lot of possibilities! And a lot of them would involve Cotten being really, truly dead, so the Globe and Mail investigation, even if accurate, doesn't narrow things down much.
