The whole splitting up the coin funds into 7 coins confusing. I only had BTC sitting on there, so why can't I just get back 55% of that BTC? Why does it need to be split up into all of the coins? I don't have wallets for 7 coins. I have a feeling due to all the price differences that have happened since then, I won't be seeing anywhere near 55% value back.

My reading of the update was that crypto holders will receive their coins back with a 45% haircut. It's fiat holders that will have their 55% distributed as different coins. So, BTC holders definitely seem to be in a better situation, if this scheme truly happens.

Anyone know why he was in Greece?

He probably would've been golden if he had stayed in Russia..

He may have been in Greece because he wasn't an owner or admin of the exchange, and wasn't expecting any of this. All we know from the indictment is that he had access to hundreds of thousands of BTC back in 2012 (when they were worth very little) stolen from Gox. It's very possible that BTC-e didn't do their due diligence back then when he approached them as a liquidity provider. That would explain why he might have deposited directly into internal cold storage addresses.
