I remembered that I had a Bitcoin wallet not long ago and I tried to find my USB key, without success.

Where have you been living all this while that you just remembered you've 100 Bitcoin... In a cave?
This person created their account on 2013, if they bought bitcoin before that or got it through other means then it is entirely possible they may have forgotten they got that bitcoin long ago.

However it seems they stored their coins in an USB, which is a bad idea as those devices are known to go bad for no reason, making the recovery of those coins difficult if not impossible, so let this be just another reminder to keep our coins secure and keep several backups as well.
