Isn't the whole point of crypto that you don't need to get your cash out of a bank account that the government can monitor and potentially lockdown?

But he is likely not a crypto believer. He already sold all of them, at least the tokens he was trading with insider information.

Crypto is good for recouping his funds once he's out of country and settled. Not super liquid when making last minute on-the-fly purchases though (at least not with the current level of adoption)

ideologically, yes, but I don't see any airlines that take payment in crypto for one-way rush last minute tickets to india
