That is fundamentally unenforceable...as much as ordering someone to turn over cash.

Defying the courts authority is Contempt of Court. If you fail to comply with a judges order, that can lead to incarceration. Continue to defy, can lead to criminal incarceration.

Sure but its unenforceable. You can even kill someone but not get their cash/bitcoin.
