Depends on your country. Consult a tax attorney, likely the situation would be that it counts as pure profit since you can't prove how much you initially spent to acquire it.
He may be able to prove he bought some, but then he traded back and forth and now has 1.27453x more. It's a tax problem cause he may have skipped declaring gains in 2016, or worse , went into stable coin in 2018 after taking a big hit without any profits to be able to cover the undeclared 2017 capital gains.... and so on
