Trust no one. 

Tell them you had to sell everything to pay debt

Tell them Bitcoin is freedom, but, unfortunately, you did not take care of self governance and lost your keys. 

If they have your address, for whatever reason (or you were a fool on googling your address) study CoinJoin or use lightning network to make your coins “vanish” into a new wallet address and tell them you got hacked 

There’s one person that needs to know if you have bitcoin: you. 

There’s only one being that needs to know exactly how much you have: God.
