Or is it more likely that someone kidnapped him, stole his phone, currently lives in his home, changed the wallet download for a day or two, reported himself for doing it, continued development of the coin to this day, maintained contact with everyone, refused donations to recover his own coins lost, and the real white has disappeared off the face of the earth and isn't trying to stop the new white from getting control of the same account this unknown hacker/kidnapper should already have access to?

If this is some kind of scam, it must have one hell of a convoluted cartoon-villain level endgame...
