RE: QuadrigaCX loses $Millions behind the crypto-sofa
That's a serious mistake for a company, but I suspect a lot of us have not made plans for giving our families access to our crypto of something happens to us. They would need some instructions as well as the keys.

How hard would it have been for another executive at the company to have the same data?
It's also possible to split keys so that some minimum subset of people needs to get together to unlock the data. It's a solved problem
