I was thinking about writing a Learn to Code post on why it's important to keep your Hive keys secure. Then I remembered that I have at least one more of my Hive crypto fan theories/fanfic/whatever my post about @lasseehlers dumping LasseCash is categorized as. That last LasseCash post seemed to be popular, so I'll try it again.
I suspect that sometime around late August 2021, 
Hive account@lasseehlers lost access to the 
Hive account@lassecash account. Insert "not his keys, not his account" meme here. Or better yet, in the replies to this post.
This post is pure speculation. I might be 100% wrong. I have no special knowledge. The evidence which I believe supports this theory is available to anybody. Hive account@lassecash could start dumping or pumping LasseCash tokens on TribalDEX five minutes after I post this.
Even if I am making a correct guess about the keys getting lost, the date I am assigning to this event could be wrong. I don't think the postulated time window would be wrong if my guess is right about the keys to Hive account@lassecash getting lost. I have one other clue that matches up with the peakd.com displayed date for last activity of Hive account@lassecash. I am saving that for last, so please don't skip ahead.

It's not unheard of for an account to remain inactive for several years and then become active again. So, let's begin with an instance when Hive account@lassecash should have become active but wasn't. Do you recall @lasseehlers' 60,000 HBD DHF proposal? 
Hive account@proposalalert certainly does. Here's how @proposalalert described it:
Promoting Hive in a new way, via LasseCash (Pilot)
Hive account@lasseehlers created a proposal asking for a daily pay of 1000.000 HBD for a total of 60000 HBD. The funds will be paid to the account Hive account@lasseehlers for up to 60 days.
Start Date: 2023-08-15 00:00:00
End Date: 2023-10-14 00:00:00
The proposal was supposed to be for LasseCash(Hive account@lassecash), but it was posted on Hive account@lasseehlers' account, and Hive account@lasseehlers would have received the HBD instead of Hive account@lassecash. Why? As the administrator of Hive Images and MemeHive, if I were to make a DHF proposal for either tribe, the proposal post would be made on the tribe's account, and the funds would be sent to a tribe account to prevent commingling with 
Hive account@holovision or any of my alt accounts. That's generally how anyone would handle it.
I can think of at least one reason why Hive account@lasseehlers would want the HBD sent to Hive account@lasseehlers rather than Hive account@lassecash. It happens to be similar to the reason why Hive account@lasseehlers wouldn't want the HBD for his proposed scheme sent to 
Hive account@null.
Recently, Hive account@lasseehlers made a post asking if he should donate one million LasseCash tokens to the BBH diesel pool. After much encouragement from the replies to that post, Hive account@lasseehlers then donated a quarter of a million tokens. I could make a "math is hard" joke here, but I administer MemeHive, not LOLZ.

I can't blame Hive account@lasseehlers for not donating the full one million LasseCash tokens. In his own words:
After thinking about it for some days I decided on donating 250000 LASSECASH to the BBH pool, 1 million was a bit too much
Quite a lot indeed. Perhaps Hive account@lasseehlers forgot to check the Hive-engine wallet for his LasseCash balance. As I pointed out in a previous post, Hive account@lasseehlers has been unstaking his LasseCash tokens. He didn't yet have one million LasseCash tokens to donate. He still doesn't at the time of this writing. Hive account@lassecash does have one million LasseCash tokens to spare. At the time of this writing, according to the richlist, Hive account@lassecash has over 9.5 million liquid LasseCash tokens.

But Holovision, if you look at the Hive account@lassecash account, it's obvious that Hive account@lasseehlers doesn't use the account for tribe posts. It only has one comment, and in the replies, Hive account@lasseehlers states that he accidentally posted the comment to Hive account@lassecash instead of Hive account@lasseehlers.
Let's examine that single comment on Hive account@lassecash. Yes, it was obviously posted by Hive account@lasseehlers on the wrong account. He made that comment. The comment is about Hive account@lassecash as a Hive-Engine witness. Ever since that comment was made in February 2021, it has had Hive account@lassecash as the Hive-Engine witness to vote for. If you were a Hive newbie in 2024 and came across the comment, you might want to vote for Hive account@lassecash.
According to peakd.com, Hive account@lasseehlers was last active on Hive account@lassecash on August 25, 2021. What didn't happen around that date? Hive account@lasseehlers didn't edit the single comment to show an alternate account to vote for as a Hive-Engine witness. What did happen around that date? Hive account@lasseehlers created the 
Hive account@lassecashwitness account, which he's been using as his witness account ever since.
It also seems to give his September 1, 2021 post "Expect less activity on LasseCash" a much deeper meaning.
I believe that Hive account@lasseehlers no longer has access to the Hive account@lassecash account. Hive account@lasseehlers can easily prove me wrong and falsify my theory that the keys to Hive account@lassecash are lost. All Hive account@lasseehlers would have to do is edit that Hive account@lassecash comment so the witness to vote for is Hive account@lassecashwitness. Why wouldn't he do that?
Will Hive account@lasseehlers edit the Hive account@lassecash comment to update it to his current Hive-Engine witness account? Can Hive account@lasseehlers edit the Hive account@lassecash comment?
