I don't get it. How does he access his BTC when he needs it? Does he go to 4 continents to get the parts of his key? I can't see how it's easy for him to access his BTC, but difficult for someone who kidnaps him to force him to access his BTC.

Seems a lot easier to give custody of the keys to a law firm.
