He is not giving us much detail but what if this wasn’t a hack but instead someone physically broke into his house. He is claiming that they got his Bitcoin on cold storage, how else can that be stolen?

he said his server was hacked a couple months ago.. compromising his PGP key..
thus he probably had a hot wallet and pgp key store on his server that was hacked

doubt it was a burglar entering his house to steal his hardware wallet. he would notice that and not be questioning "how"

Here is the tweet about it: https://mobile.twitter.com/LukeDashjr/status/1593227756841578496

I am actually thinking the other way, that something else on his network was compromised and that allowed access to his server.
But if they also got private keys in cold storage then it could also be a physical attack that he was not aware of or something else.

He said that the attack on his serves was targeted to them.

Very strange. But, not out of the realm of possibility.
