Here's how it may have happened:

No name has a plan to escape to (name a country)

He pretends he has cancer, so when shtf he can leave

shtf. he announces the end of treatment and prep his bags.

Oops, operators take care of him.

People around him know, but what can they do? Damned if you say something, damned if you don't.

Now they're all going bunkers… and they make a huge deal of his life and want to rename a building, etc to get back at Qteam.
