The only way I can think of this happening is in a non-standard storage configuration:
- PGP key is used to encrypt multiple Bitcoin private keys

That’s part of the hypothesis I was toying with, but that we can discard apparently, as he sets the two, PGP and bitcoin theft, as unrelated losses (although likely tied to the same set of events):

I’m not sure if I’ve skipped part of his explanations somewhere, but I don’t believe we’ve yet seen how those bitcoins private keys were protected on his (not so) cold wallet:

It’s possible that, believing his storage solution to be never in contact with the internet, the private keys were not really encrypted there (?).
