In that scenario, the coins ended up somewhere other than where the court ordered.

That didn't just happen. Someone intended it to happen.

Investigations and all available means will be used to obtain the coins. That could continue for the remainder of time all involved have here.

Yes. I'm not a lawyer, but this is now an issue outside the purveyance of the original court order to decrypt.

It requires new charges to be laid, evidence to be provided, and due process in reasonable time.

My point was the hard physics of it: the assets can be moved, and proving who moved it is very difficult.

That order is very likely part of a greater matter, and that will likely remain unchanged, IMHO.

Others, myself included, totally recognize the physics. That doesn't change the law much, just how it's enforced.

Should all that prove ineffective, as in justice is not served, we can all look forward to new and innovative law too.

In the end, we've got the basic human control issues in play.

The basic human remedies will also remain in play.

Prime example being it's quite possible to make life a real living hell for people, if nothing else. It's also possible to make that all being worth it very difficult to actualize.
