It was unclear whether you were talking about american or foreigner in that context. For a foreigner, you'd have to contend with local banks that are subject to requests from local police.
You said "not everyone lives in the USA", so I was speaking of non-americans, keeping their money out of the reach of american authorities. But for the German citizen keeping money in a German bank, what specific activity would lead his money to being seized that would not also subject himself to arrest and prosecution.
literally any of the civil forfeiture horror stores that show up on HN from time to time.
I've seen lots of cases reported where cash is seized, but what ones had their bank accounts seized without having committed a crime that would lead to prosecution?
Again, I'm just asking for a specific example of why someone would use cryptocurrency because they are doing some legitimate activity that would lead to their bank account being seized, but wouldn't also open themselves up to prosecution.
