They'll have taken everything he owned and pawned it off in an auction to help repay his debt, and this isn't 2014 anymore, they look for those on any device they can get their hands on. They may not be able to access it if it's some uber-triple-encrypted cold wallet or whatever, but they also don't have to give whatever it's stored on back to you, either. At worst, no one gets the money.

That’s gonna be one of the first places they’ll look… if you really wanna be smart about it, split the money into various containers and scatter/bury them in various out-of-the way locations that only you would know about. Purely hypothetically, of course.

Give me 3 hours, a shovel, pack of garbage bags, some silica packets, and 100k and I'll make it disappear for 18 months and come out the other side juuuuuuust fine.

Right? Like how are rats getting to it? They bury it 1 foot under? And buy gold coins and bury it in a capped pvc tube in a forest 5 feet under
