Isn't that recursive? If it makes no sense for you to keep BTC because it's so volatile then why would it make sense for your supplier?

Poor bloke appears to be dead.
In EVE, players fly spaceships about. There are different classes of spaceship, but the smallest and weakest ship are called frigates. They are also by far the most common ships to see in EVE as they are the only ships that can be flown by new players.
EVE also permits (and encourages) player on player combat. When a player's ship is destroyed, there is a random dice roll for each item in cargo to decide if the item will survive. Surviving items are dropped into the game world and can be taken by other players. Therefore players can attack other players and steal their items. This is normally done by a gang of pirate players who wait at the stargates that act as bottlenecks between areas. These pirates scan passing ships to see what cargo they are holding and if it's worth it, they attack. Mostly they attack large cargo ships, not beginners frigates as the loot you get from a beginning player doesn't outweigh the costs of attacking a ship.
What's happened here is that one player (probably working for some sort of large ingame player run group) was trying to move PLEX around (probably for profit, the market is player run and prices are different from area to area) in a weak frigate in an attempt to avoid attention, assuming that pirates would not bother scanning a tiny frigate. If it works it's a very cheap and easy way to move items about. In practice the pirates much have cargo scanned the frigate and then attacked it, seeking to steal the PLEX's. However the PLEX's were destroyed by an unlucky dice roll, robbing the pirates of their loot.
