Quite a while ago, and Englishman had a series on different types of frauds from different countries. One of the shows went to India. The show host was able to get all the paperwork to have him legally declared dead. As I watched this video, I was reminded of how easy it was for the reporter to find the necessary people, pay them off, and become one of the dead - able to continue living by assuming a different identity. It does make me wonder.........

Re the argument that the RCMP would have exhumed him if there was any doubt, since he had already embarrassed them several times: wouldn't it be more embarrassing for them to exhume him and find out he fooled them again, than to just have him remain officially dead?

That’s a really good point! Thanks for commenting.

[@dantegood2195]

Yeah. But if he were found alive after they insisted he were dead and refused to exhume his casket, we’re talking serious legal repercussions. Forget embarrassment. So what you’re alleging is deep levels of corruption from the RCMP.

[@janesmith9628]

@lenka cfk - EXACTLY what I thought too! Speaking as a Canadian that makes more sense to me.

[@wrfgradiofreegoodlandthefi5914]

Unless and until the RCMP or whoever has ultimate authority exhumes the body and a post-mortem confirms identity and cause of death as documented will some rumors be laid to rest. There are a few things that peak my curiosity. On the death certificate the surname is "coincidentally" misspelled. Typos as seemingly innocuous as ccapitalization vs lower case, inclusion or exclusion of a letter, substitution of one letter for another, or one word as simple as "for" vs "to" in a document can alter the outcome of any situation that leads to a court of law issuing a ruling. Believe it or not. This is also a very common ploy if persons want to "bury" information that could later be accessed and traced back to them. For purposes of example Only: - (this isn't a political statement) - the scam orchestrated by dnc and fbi co-conspirators in a fraudulent attempt to slander, impeach, and ultimately eliminate trump from the dc/global/cb/military industrial complex/& other much darker interwoven "legal governmental" enterprises. In attempts to obtain emails to/from comey, dir. of the fbi at the time, revealed little to implicate him or the agency in any wrongdoing, affording an excess cushion of time for the process to play out. This resulted in obstruction throughout nearly all of trump's tenure, served to further the divide between people with different political leanings or agendas, and cloaked the president in suspicion among many who may have been on the fence regarding him. Eventually, however, documentation Was found after searches using alternative spellings for his name uncovered a stash of communication from within the agency and players outside of the formal agency, revealing a convoluted web of schemes and cover-ups that had been intricately crafted and interwoven in order to make it nearly impossible to connect the dots. Much of the directors communiques were disguised by simply substituting a "n" in exchange for the "m" in his surname, ie: "coney" vs "comey".The devil is in the details. So simple, yet the letters are so similar either no one noticed or those who may have and not been privy to the plot likely brushed this off as a typo if they noticed at all. Employing this one method alone permitted a lot of sleight of hand, and more than adequate time to further bury, alter, hide, or blame hacking for any anomalies. This also affords a veneer of plausible deniability. The misspelling of mr cotten's name on death certificate immediately drew my attention. One reporter went to India and gained unfettered access to the Dr. claiming to have attended cotten. The dr's statements rang alarm bells also for several reasons. I'm a Nurse Practitioner, and though medical systems differ from country to country there are many standards across the board globally (or used to be according to legend).The number of drs from India practicing in the US is staggering and that alone informs that there are many commonalities in education and practices between drs in the US and India. No ethical dr is going to provide (or would have prior to 2020) sensitive medical information in such detail concerning any patient unless compelled through a legal subpoena. To do so otherwise is a crime, at least in the U.S. (or was pre-2020 🙄). My impression: the dr was trying to cover something up. By providing these "medically documented" details although supposedly from memory, not particularly official records, the expectation was that all suspicion would be put to rest. The fact the hospital administrator was indicted for fraud 2 mo prior suggests a culture of corruption. In the best light alone it casts a shadow of doubt. I began to speculate several possible scenarios. My gut tells me the dr was not being totally forthcoming. After 40 years in the HC field I've learned to trust my intuition, and my gut has never failed me thank God. If you don't act on or trust your gut as a licensed, credentialed HCP with people's lives in your hands. The window of time afforded for action in a suspected medical emergency and the chances of someone living vs dying can quite literally be the blink of an eye if you dismiss, hesitate, ignore, or overlook subtle, vital indicators that should trigger intervention - stat. Better to err on the side of caution than live with regret. Obtaining the official emergency services and hospital records would provide an opportunity to fairly easily determine if what the dr reported was true, accurate, altered, or irrefutable. The bizarre embalming controversy in and of itself raises red flags. Obviously the first embalmer had doubts about cause of death and likely felt an investigation should precede embalming and burial, ie: a complete post-mortem exam at minimum. Did they initiate an official investigation into his death (questioning spouse, hotel employees, sealing off and searching hotel room, seizing electronic devices for forensic analysis, etc). This is often standard procedure in these kinds of unexpected deaths in which the spouse was last to see the deceased in a stable condition. There is little evidence he suffered from a history of crohns. He didn't appear to be out of commission (debilitated) for reoccurring periods of time - which would be the case in a young person with the severity of a frequently exacerbating, poorly managed disease.Intestinal perforation or necrosis that would result in peritonitis may possibly, but very rarely, occurs spontaneously. I've seen it too many times to count and the course of illness is predictable. The man had the resources to manage this disease. He presented with no classic external indicators that are easily recognizable to any proficient Provider in making a differential diagnosis based on subjective and objective data alone, & can then easily be confirmed or ruled out. That's not to say he didn't have Crohns. However, the circumstances and data available don't add up. Personally, I'm uncertain if he's dead or alive, but I'm suspect. He could be alive; he may have been murdered; or everything could be coincidence. The likelihood of natural cause would be last on my list. Better to eliminate all questions as quickly as possible than to let something this convoluted be swept under the rug. Withholding reports of his death for over a month and continuing to accept financial transactions from investors oblivious to the fact that a) the company founder, ceo, etc etc had died, and/or b) the fact that it was common knowledge for months investors had not been able to withdraw funds is sketchy to say the least. If his wife is as clueless as she claims to be one might think she would immediately have her attorneys notify clients, freeze further transactions, and perhaps hire an independent auditing firm and other investigators to definitively rule out any suspicions about her. A Will written less than 2 weeks prior to the unexpected death of a young appearingly healthy, wealthy young man should raise some questions. His former "business partner" should be investigated also. There are clear clues that lead one to justify investigation although by now that would be far more difficult than at time of his death. There was definitely motive, opportunity, and means for him to "disappear" having Truly bamboozled and possibly attempted to frame his wife for the inevitable fall-out. These same clues could lead to the serious consideration of foul play - either spouse or professional hit job. Yes, exhuming a loved one's body is traumatic, however if the trauma of suspect is hanging over your head it would be simpler to exonerate yourself and prove you have nothing to hide by doing so. Exhumation is usually the next of kins' decision but if they don't pursue the Process it most likely won't be done without some concrete evidence of wrongdoing (either faked or murdered vs Dr's reported cause of sudden death and preceding circumstances leading up to it). I know this is long. In my mind what could have been a much simpler resolution for putting to rest at least the question of him being dead vs alive or murdered vs natural causes has been crafted to obscure. The way in which this has played out, with what appears to be officials concluding that cotten single handedly orchestrated and swindled a lot of $$ including from many persons quite savvy in the world of technology and therefore alert to obvious signs of a scam seems far fetched to me. It's difficult to believe the pass codes could not have been retrieved by someone in the hacking community if officials hadn't, didn't, or wouldn't do that job. Of course it's possible. This story can't be so easily distilled by attributing it solely to one man. There is obviously much we don't know that could be known, but for reasons unknown likely never will be "unburied". This is far too much $$ to have vanished without some trace of a clue left behind other than what appears to me as a too carefully orchestrated production designed to conceal and deflect from whatever the Truth may be. You don't have to wear a tin foil fedora to ask questions here. However, it is easy to eventually let the story itself die merely by labeling any narrative other than the "official" one as "conspiracy theory". After all, who wants to be mocked as a fruitcake? 😘 Just a few thoughts as I'd think by now most people would be questioning everything before accepting any final consensus from any source or discounting any alternative theories. Not like we haven't been lied to enough in the last several years alone; only for evidence to emerge magically years after the fact. XxxOoo

[@dianarendon5845]

A suggestion to Dr. Grande: Should analyze the case of Richard Farley, the mass shooter of the ESL company in Sunnyvale, California in 1988. To briefly summarize, Richard Farley worked at what was then an Electronics company back then called ESL where he stalked a coworker named Laura Black. He stalked her for several years prior to the mass shooting because he was obsessed with her. Richard Farley ended up killing 7 people and injured Laura (the target of his obsession) but she survived. Richard Farley was ultimately found guilty of 7 counts of 1st degree murder and was given the death sentence. There is even a movie made about this case called “Stalking Laura” with actress Brooke Shields playing Laura in the movie. Also in the wake of this case, anti-stalking laws were placed. This case would be a good case to do an analysis because what can drive a person who prior to the mass murders was a successful engineer with no prior criminal history to become obsessed towards another person to the point of committing a mass shooting. Thank you.

"If his plan to escape was anything like his cryptocurrency scheme, then it would have been too ill conceived to succeed." The error in your logic here is that, if faking his death had been part of his plan to get away with all that missing money, then it DID succeed. IMO, the missing safe is actually evidence that Jerry is dead (or at least not responsible for the safe disappearing) because you only take a safe if you need time to crack it open. Jerry had the combination; he could've just taken what was inside.

[@MuricaTurkey]

Sorry for the "novel". I'm a little worried and rambly LOL The most interesting part of this case was his death. Though, in a personally worrisome way. I'm in the process of getting diagnosed for serious GI issues if dealt with my whole life (I had neglectful parents, otherwise I probably would have been diagnosed long before now). Crohn's is one of the possible diagnoses the doctor suspects. So now, hearing this, how he died, it really freaks me out. I'm 40, and I'm having some pretty serious stuff going on. I've tried a million diet changes. I eat super healthy. I hate alcohol. I don't smoke or do drugs. I could exercise more, but I'm in a lot of pain and have a lot of fatigue. So it's difficult. I've had horrible GI symptoms my entire life, and doctors have been super dismissive of it. I had one (an old man) tell me, "It's probably menstrual cramps. Have you tried Midol?" It's not cramps, ffs. I'm a grown woman. I know what cramps feel like. And I wasn't having cramps when I was in the ER, hospital, or numerous doctor appointments going back as far as a year old. Infants don't have menstrual cramps. It doesn't help that my mom was just in super denial, like, "Well, I have bad stomach aches, and so does my mom. I guess you got it too. It's just a thing we have that can't be helped. Oh, well." throughout my entire childhood. Actually, she still is. Now, I'm 40, have kids, and 2 out of 3 of my kids have the awful symptoms as well. And now I'm experiencing pretty serious complications involving other organs being damaged, nerve damage (doc thinks it could be from chronic malabsorption of some nutrients). It's very scary and painful. When I told my mom the other day that I have to go through some tests, including ones to see if it's Crohn's, she was like, "Oh, yeah, lots of doctors over the years have told me I probably have that and I should get tested, but, y'know I just never felt like doing that." 🤬 Yeah, sure. That's great, Mom. It's not like it's a hereditary disease that's ever serious or fatal or anything like that, or that it's causing pain and illness for your kid and grandkids...OH, WAIT...that's exactly what the situation is. I thought I was mostly free of my mom's neglectful, abusive bs now that I'm 40 and living 1000 miles away. But turns out, having a narcissistic parent is a "gift" that keeps on giving! Thankfully, I have a doctor who believes me and isn't lazy and I will be diagnosed soon. Whether this is Crohn's or something else. Whatever the hell it is, I'm not going to just let my kids suffer like she did. Hopefully I don't die one day like this guy, because I went without treatment for 40 years. I know, the odds are I won't. I'll probably be fine...but hearing how he died did make me a bit freaked out 😬

All the words Dr Grande used at 17:05 describe my brother in law to a tee. In fact, with some exceptions, the whole video describes the kind of life my wife’s brother still enjoys. We call him Junior. You can’t help but like Junior when you meet him. He is friendly, out going, and knows something about any subject that comes up. Junior is charming enough to attract enough investors over the years to buy into the dozens of businesses he has driven into bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Junior goes on living his lavish lifestyle. If any investor spent 15 minutes looking into Junior’s life they would ask “Why in the hell am I trusting my money with this Bozo?”

9/11/22 He Stiffed a lot of customers, now he’s a Stiff like you said Dr Grande! He was smart and trusting, even though childlike!!

[@justinm3745]

Not sure if it was intentional, but the whole brown vibe you got going on in this video is quite nice.

[@THEMAYQUEEN1]

Wow this story would make a great movie.

[@lovelifelaugh2727]

What’s the ending though

[@carmelhughesparolya899]

Really enjoyed this one Dr. Grande, great and extremely interesting analysis (as usual) thank you 💜

[@sheilaroderick9123]

Thank you for your interesting uploads Dr Grande. BTW is your little cactus in flowe just now?

[@blacksiren1296]

Great video as always. You should consider looking at the Mark Van Dongen case in the UK

[@svalentina3075]

Could you please do a video on Dennis and Lois Jurgens in White Bear Lake, MN? Unbelievable story!

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

Thanks, Doc.

[@rhuephus]

Thanks Dr. Grande. Love you vids !!!!!!!!!

[@sunnypie2]

Finished watching the Netflix doc. Good analysis! As usual ☺️

[@streitrat]

Me too!

[@anniekierstead5419]

Thank you for addressing this Dr Todd. I've heard so much about c.c. It's always sad to see people ensnared by money. Too bad to see such a tragic end I don't understand this new currency idea. Doesn't make any sense to me. I love to investigate, but money matters have never really interested me. Work to pay your bills - that makes sense. Btw I love your sense of humor. 🥴

[@RobinPower-ui1ov]

Awesome, Dr. G! A triumph!!!!!❤

[@Qwijebo]

What happened to the laptop and where is it? And if it is around why were the authorities not given it?

[@chrisfurius]

An episode about Dr. John Hill from Texas would be great.

[@Fluffbean_æə]

Big fan here! Have you thought about analyzing the Lane Bryant shooting in Tinley Park, IL?

[@kkenneth100]

excellent video and topic Doc

[@maxoblivion]

Hi Dr. Grande!

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

i think you should do an episode on Anna and Lucy, the identical twins from Perth, Australia. i’m very curious about what might be going on in their minds

[@TJFlynn6]

This is great as usual, but I am waiting for that 1 million subscriber video!

[@nadiacusan3799]

I’m glad when you analyze Canadians, i am Canadian born in Quebec City

[@easytrainingguides]

Wow, very informative, thanks! ( but what happened to the safe? Very interesting)

[@janbaldwin1189]

Listened to a programme on CBC radio. Apparently the wife has written a book about - who knows what. She says she did not know anything about his criminal behavior, tho' she talked about having 100s and/or 1,000s of dollars laying around the house, in their wallets, in their cars. She said her husband is definitely dead and she can prove it, (tho' she didn't) but absolutely refuses to have her husband's body exhumed. I hope she does not make any money off this book .

[@rhuephus]

I'm sure she thought that all those millions came out of nowhere .. magic ..

[@megja1812]

Dr grande is a workaholic….can we analyse this trait 😂😂😂

[@johnyoungblood2913]

Why was Jerry’s coffin a closed casket ?

[@socalcrow3408]

You are correct.. No tip, no service And they get "stiffed" sarcastic Humor at it's best

[@RobertWGreaves]

Because of lost passwords. Missing or malfunctioning wallets, no one knows just how much bitcoin has basically evaporated. Is there a process for re “condensing” missing or abandoned bitcoin?

[@eadweard.]

I don't think so. I don't know if it matters much though.

[@SeaBlue1976]

5:11 in Greece,nice ending for my insomniac night💙

[@AdventuresOfMiniJo]

Belleville, not Bellevue

[@bradcollins1626]

This reminds me of when my dad never showed up on my birthday(s)

[@brigittebeltran6701]

HOPING FOR THIS! 💗

[@queenoflogic3206]

Great video

[@TJDious]

He did this entire video just to do the "getting stiffed" pun.

[@btetschner]

I am glad that some of these videos are about cryptocurrecy, I am highly skeptical about the system and it is good to see some of the negative sides to the system (I don't use it regardless). Very interesting case with the modern phenomena of cryptocurrency. Thank you for the video.

[@Galworld761]

If anyone thinks countries are giving up their biggest financial lever - currency - I have a bridge for sale. Also, there is no fiat backing your currency - the volatility of value is crazy.

[@btetschner]

@@Galworld761 I agree, they are not going to give that up. Fiat currency is only backed by the government though, I believe it has a 100% fail rate over time.
