The co-defendant from the lawsuit also dying is more specifically suspicious, the btc "hack" happening at the same time is just a potential cherry on top.

I found it odd that the two co-defendants died within days of each other. But it's hard to imagine that it was a conspiracy, given that the yacht sank because of a storm. I don't see any connection to the bitcoin hack.

The storm must have been caused by judicious Cloud Seeding.

The yacht seemingly sank because of the storm, but we don't have enough confirmed evidence to make that a factual consideration yet, just a guess. There are a lot of pieces that may connect. The missing people include very high wealth individuals, and the lawsuit angle creates a connection for potential malfeasance.

What better cover story would work to hide several crimes? Its not necessarily a conspiracy of crime, but it has some weird timing.
