One does not simply...forget to reclaim such materials.

Perhaps he thought that was safekeeping, where nobody would come looking for them.

You mean like if he thought the feds would confiscate them if there was some kind of investigation, and even a safe deposit box wouldn't be protected? Just leave it there like a coat check? Flimsy but possible. Indeed a bit odd 3 laptops given at once. Surely he could afford to pay a tech to come over and fix it while he watched. Did they report on what he claimed was wrong with the laptops?

I was thinking if the Reds had compromising video of him, he wouldn't want to have it used against the country if his pops became president. Also he might have been fed up with his old man for using him like a money mule.

Yes, like a coat check! Nobody really knows what was going through that crackhead mind at the time. Keep in mind his paternity trial was occurring in this timeframe, end of 2019.

Ahh you have a bit of the detective's mind I see. A definite possibility. The drugs could have made him paranoid, the news was reporting on that, and the self-preservation instinct would make a lot of sense.

It seems like something he didn’t want in his possession, but didn’t necessarily want to get rid of either. Also, once one replaces the laptop it’s not so urgent to get the old one back. And he left it in Connecticut, but where was he living at the time? Only Hunter has the answers!

that makes sense

Maybe Hunter wanted them to find the laptop. Maybe Hunter wanted the big guy to go down. 🤔
