Now his identity being this public, I don't think he will be able to live a "normal" life anymore. If recruited in exchange for protection, he will need to relocate and get a new identity at a minimum.

What a great opportunity for old school criminals not afraid of using violence to try getting their fair share of the profits.

But you are missing the point, if Snowden had 100+M USD in crypto he would be in constant danger of being kidnapped.
