A far fetched scenario: If I were these guys (I am glad I am not), You have just brought down far more interest and heat from now just law enforcement but probably at least a couple of intelligence services. Arranging your own death would seem like a reasonable thing to do. All our money is gone, stolen. All our servers are gone, grabbed by law enforcement. We have nothing left. Bye. It would be interesting to follow the Bitcoins traversal around the network.

Having done something so idiotic as inadvertently taking down critical infrastructure for a superpower with global military & espionage capabilities (that nearly all nations will cooperate with) - the problem is, the people chasing you do not give a shit about your money and whether it's gone, and they do not care about your servers. Bye won't work, and faking your death won't be believable. If you're these people, you're going to be hunted to the ends of the planet and most likely they're royally screwed with no way out (unless they're under the direct protection of eg China or Russia).
