In respect of protection against civil forfeiture, how is it different from a regular bank account?

The government can very easily take money out of your bank account. Happened to me one time when the Texas Comptroller made a paperwork error. Even after they fixed it and refunded my money, Wells Fargo charged me $150 for "legal fees". That was a lot of fun.

Your problem is that you used Wells Fargo instead of a credit union.

After that event I switched to a credit union. Good decision.
