I think he is a liar.
In the video he says so himself, that he is being accused of being a liar, a swindler, etc. Although it may be a strategy.
Or stupid as fuck. If you have only 25 btc and store it the way he did he deserves to lose out for being that stupid.
To not have five coins in five different accounts is an act of arrogance that deserves the punishment he got.
I completely agree, it's almost $1M at current prices. To have it all in the same basket and stored like that is retarded.
Or he is lying.
Although he sounds honest in the video, I don't rule it out, really. Some people have an art for deception.
