Sorry for his loss, and the mobile providers do need to do something about this known attack vector. But with cryptocurrencies you need to "be you own bank", and extending his own analogy how many legitimate or long lasting banks would store USD24 million in cash in a hotel room safe?

Following this analogy, would the bank sue the builder or vault manufacturer if they gave someone a key to the vault without the bank's knowledge and it was used to rob the vault? Or might the bank sue a armored carrier for irresponsibly storing monies that were stolen in transit between banks?
Maybe you can be your own bank, but banks have to depend on external factors/entities to do what they're supposed to do as well.
Seems reasonable, because bank vaults and armoured vehicles are designed specifically for protecting high value items. Hotel room safes on the other hand are not (in fact some even have a disclaimer advising you not to store valuables in them).
