I’m inclined to agree with you on this - sometimes, rumors get exaggerated.

The Guardian article I linked above says the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains” - though I’d think it would be hard to recognize much of anything exposed to that much force. A few bits of snarge, I’m guessing.

I don’t know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.

In any case, the forces, IIRC, from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They’re fish food.

EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains”.

What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?

I’m glad I never got into cryptocurrency. For all intents & purposes, it might as well be Monopoly money.

I hope that’s true! We’re about at the perfect distance from Betelgeuse; far enough away that it won’t hurt us, but close enough to get a great fireworks show!
