My take on the document is that it makes no sense for the following simple reason:
If you take a look at the page that says "Financial Assets and Liabilities", they list their Bitcoin assets as "2,000" and the Bitcoin liabilities as "744,408" all of which they count as "theft" that took place over a 5 year period. That means that over a period of 5 years, they lost 99.7% of their Bitcoins and didn't notice it until recently. Think about that for a microsecond. OK, take your time if it doesn't sink in that fast.
