Occam's razor would suggest Hunter's dumbass left the laptop at the repair shop and was too drugged out and distracted to pick it up.
He kept procrastinating and planning to do so, but eventually the 60 day period expired and he forgot because meth time+ endless money+ sex with prostitutes/siblings= weeks fly by.
Then, once the laptop story started breaking, he couldn't stop it so he had to rationalize and create a version of reality where losing the laptop was NOT his fault.
He blamed some sketchy drug dealers he interacted with in the past, remembered a few of them spoke what sounded like Russian, and he starts repeating this fabricated mental delusion to all the people he interacts with (mostly prostitutes), in order to solidify this warped version of events.
As a former addict, this is probably what happened to Hunter. When you're an addict and you do stupid shit because you're drugged out, you will rationalize the stupid things as having happened for reasons out of your control, ESPECIALLY when you're not trying to get off drugs.
Its a defense mechanism to continue justifying ones drug use. "No man i swear, even if i wasn't doing drugs, they would have STILL gotten the laptop. Those shady Russian coke dealers man. Can't trust em".
