Maybe as a bitcoin shill, he should not have crossed the threshold of people WANTING to do that to him in the first place.

Then at least he could still stay in touch with his friends and family, and so many people wouldn't be so motivated to extract their revenge on him.

But no, running his illegal get-rich-quick pyramid scheme and fooling and exploiting other people was more important to him than his own and his dog's safety.

If he wasn't just doing this for cosplay and attention, and was actually concerned about his privacy, then maybe he shouldn't have contacted the New York Times and had them write an article about him, huh?

So your theory is that Lopp is taking these steps to protect himself from people who want to hurt him because he talks about Bitcoin publicly and the Bitcoin price has come down? That is wacky.

And you also claim he is a criminal who profited from an “illegal pyramid scheme”? Does this apply to anyone who has sold Bitcoin for more than they bought it for?
