I wonder what the statistics say: what’s the likelihood of a Bitcoin residing with a custodian being stolen or lost versus the likelihood of a Bitcoin directly held by the end user being stolen or lost?

My guess educated guess is that the Mt. Gox and various darknet market exit scams alone account for the majority. Those alone probably make stolen from personally managed wallets pale in comparison. Don't know about lost wallets though.
