Not trying to joke around or anything.  But could this be a 'lost my Monero in a boat accident' kind of 'hack'?  I can not wrap my head around how this could have happened.  Unless lukedashjr's way of storing his balance was mediocre.

Maybe I am wrong but I think that his Twitter is perhaps compromised and it’s not him posting. He is a smart guy. He probably has iron clad security.
You see.  I think it is wrong to tie some body's domain to how much knowledge they have about a particular subject or to how good their behavior is.  May be a smart guy, but this does not stop him from being silly for once and trusting not storing his Bitcoin in Cold Storage.

I bet you there are a lot of people who are Seniors in digital security and have devices with weaker security than mine or have weaker passwords than I do.  There are things I sometimes preach that I do not do.  Do not know why if you ask me.

I think that his Twitter is hacked due to the leak last week and he is going to post a “please send donations” tweet and that’s the payoff in this hack.
Maybe.  Sounds plausible, actually.  Who knows.
