Most reaction was that people think my friend stole it. I dont really wanna believe that because it wouldn't make sense to me.

IMO this is what probably happened, your friend ran with the money.

According to your story
- your friend informed you first that the coins were transfered
- your friend was the only one with access to the private key
- the trezor was connected to his laptop

The other possibility ist that your friend used a MEW phishing site, not the original one.

The safest way to use MyEtherWallet is to use it through the trezor interface or use the offline version from github: https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet

Last year there was DNS poisoning attack targeting Trezor users: https://blog.trezor.io/psa-phishing-alert-fake-trezor-wallet-website-3bcfdfc3eced
But I don't think that's what happened to you.

Why didn't you use a multisig wallet / multisig contract?
