Capital gains are deferred without interest until an asset it sold, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t an obligation for those years.
I would say consequences of infringement are much worse for individual citizens than for the government.
If the government confiscates some of your money through "civil forfeiture", you then have to sue the government and prove the money was gained legally.

On the other hand, try not filing your taxes. What happened to John McAfee might happen to you.

Looking deeply at the social counteracts of other countries is really interesting because of how many different things we take for granted aren’t universal. Free speech in the US is more limited than I would like, but it gets much worse even in countries that look civilized in other ways.
Free speech in US is poorer than in most Western countries, as it fails to protect you from anything other than most government institutions. For example in US it’s fine for your employer to fire you because they don’t like what you say in your private time. Other countries provide better protection.
My question is still unanswered: why would anyone in US even think about their law enforcement invoicing the victims?
The FBI may get involved for citizens outside the US. The international situation is complex but being or not being a US citizen can very much change FBI involvement.
PS: My question is still unanswered: why would anyone in US even think about their law enforcement invoicing the victims? It’s a concern if your considering renouncing citizenship and moving to a country where it’s a concern just as free speech should be a concern if your moving to a country without it.
Depends on the state. The US isn't as simple as you're making it out to be.
