One of the guys I mine ETH with lost about $3K to this.

But he still hasn't learned ... I asked him if he has instructions in his will to find his keys/wallets/passwords. "No"

At the very least, folks with a decent amount of crypto should have instructions in their will to allow someone else to manage it ...

I guess this is like in the gold old days, where a house would burn down and the owner would be crying because they hid all of their cash in the wall/mattress/loosefloorboard etc etc.
