The answer could be more simple than all these hacks theories. You are a PUBLIC, core developer working in Bitcoin for years, you obviously hold a bunch of BTC. In that case you are a target for professionals, not only in cyberspace, but also in the physical world.
His Twitter profile says a lot about him, where he lives, what he's doing. This happening during the holidays... Is it possible someone breaking in his house and find the seed written down? The Twitter profile says this guy is a devote catholic. You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to try look for the seed "kept by God" inside a bible or behind a cross. Definitely easier than robing a bank.
If you hold $10M in BTC, you have 2 options: or nobody knows who you are, or you have your house secured at ScarFace level.
I'm probably wrong, but definitely a possibility.
Exactly, the more public you are, the more hackers are trying to figure out how to hack you.
BTW he said the stolen bitcoins were in a hot wallet.....
