Is... it possible that he doesn't know? Or doesn't know how to turn bitcoin into cash? Or doesn't have access to the wallet any more?

The only feasible reasons I could think of.

Wait, thought of one more. He had a lot of payment processors refuse to do business with him. Maybe he's blacklisted from the ability to do banking and somehow cannot turn bitcoin into money.

Just buy some precious metals from a major dealer like APMEX.

Do some price comparisons before buying precious metals. I haven't looked in a while but JM Bullion was a better deal than APMEX last time I ordered.

I'm saying something more fundamental. Some people are locked out of the banking system entirely, due to bankruptcy, a high number of bounced checks, fraud, or other reasons. He might not be able to function in society. If he used kraken or even did a F2F deal, he'd still have to go to the bank at some point and deal with that.

Supposition. We may never know.

Impossible.
