> The same legal processes that can be used to recover funds stolen from your bank account or stocks stolen from your brokerage account can be used to recover cryptocurrency.

If that is the case, then doesn't that destroy (at least) one of the basic principles of cryptocurrency that people constantly harp on?

The basic principle will be the same most of the time, you identify the thief and use legal measures to force them to return the funds.
