“Such events have an impact on the entire industry, and therefore, if we can help, we also want to be involved in this, ” said Kraken head Jess Powell.

According to him, the exchange wants to raise awareness of the QuadrigaCX case and draw attention to it. As Kraken hopes, she will be able to help find at least some or all of the missing customer funds.

Simultaneously, the exchange conducted a podcast with Jess Powell, in which she published all the most well-known information about the QuadrigaCX case and the alleged death of its founder and CEO, Gerald Cotten.

As stated by the exchange, information that will help in the search for missing funds, it intends to transfer to law enforcement agencies. Remuneration to informants can be paid both in cryptocurrency and in Fiat.

According to experts, QuadrigaCX debt to customers is $ 190 million ($ 137 million in cryptocurrencies and $ 53 million in Fiat). Due to unrecorded obligations, this amount may, however, turn out to be $ 6 million higher.

Earlier it was reported that QuadrigaCX transferred the remaining cryptocurrency to the audit company Ernst & Young (EY).
