It's worse than just liquidity, if he can unlock his wallet on his phone to verify it and its balance on the spot.... not only is it liquid but he's effectively carrying it on himself in cash at all times.

At least it's only $2.5 million or so remaining, since the rest is now likely in assets that require more effort than merely access to this person+phone (and attempts to rob a person of assets in a bank are usually more traceable than stealing bitcoin). Still seems a bit crazy though.

If he's smart he's storing his remaining balance in safety deposit boxes, etc rather than all on his phone.

Right. You can torture all of that wealth right out of him, pretty much on the spot.
