Who the Fuck is so stupid to store important information online without an offline backup?
If you're not a computer nerd, it's common to think Microsoft has a bunch of backups and that's the whole point of the cloud. He's not particularly stupid, he just got scammed like thousands of others.
In a just world, he'd successfully sue MS for damages.
Its still stupid to trust anyone with your only copy of your important data, who can just disable your account in an instance without thinking twice about it.
