Amazon sent the FBI to take my family’s bank accounts

Doesn't matter. If the FBI has records of you transferring money to an exchange and then you claim it just "disappeared" after reaching the exchange, they're going to roll their eyes.

The crimes in question involved real estate deals with paper trails. They also have transcripts of conversations where the partners acknowledge what they're doing is wrong and could potentially trigger an FBI investigation.

Monero won't save anyone from that.

Or you could just accidentally drop your laptop in the sea and then wait a decade or two before selling the Moneroj in another country?

The first part you can do with any cryptocurrency, the anonymity provided by Monero may allow you to succeed at the second.

There are several ways to get crypto (including Monero) without touching an exchange.
