I'm pretty sure that the 2017 bull run was the beginning of the regrets, and then seeing the price today, which now doubles the last all time high? "shooting themselves in the foot". Another lesson not to estimate not just bitcoin, but those technologies, similar to what Internet went through in the beginning.

Why not? Let's punish them for their willful arrogance, ignorance and if anything for mocking Bitcoin in exchange for a clickbait article
Although honestly, I think they have been punished enough by themselves.

I do not doubt they erased and lost the seed. They would have moved or sold the coins by now. Or at the very least, they would have probably reversed their position on Bitcoin and apologized to Mr/Ms. Satoshi.
