How this will probably play out:

FBI agent: What cryptocurrency assets do you own?

You: 2 BTC, 1 ETH.

FBI agent: We found some Monero transactions in your past, we think you're holding XMR and lying to an FBI agent about it. Off to jail for you.

You're supposed to remain silent, not expose yourself by lying.

John McAfee claimed they were doing this to him before he "suicided".

More specifically for a criminal case they’d need evidence beyond reasonable doubt, no?
