This is hilarious, but-- What about the exception that forces CEOs of corporations to give up their info? Close enough for a hostile judge to jump all over that one. Anyway, they're going to liquidate the bitcoins. Maybe the government shutdown should continue for the next decade to let them catch up with technology.And given that some courts have argued you can't be forced to give up your encryption, as it's a 5th Amendment violation, those Bitcoins could remain hidden -- though, I could see the court ordering him to pay the dollar equivalent in restitution (though still not sure that would force him to decrypt the Bitcoins).
