Hey Guys,


If lets say they get orders from the government  etc can they prevent us from being able to access or move our crypto  directly or by blocking access to their software.


As a matter of fact  they can do it through the specially designed firmware that contains the code  to block/wipe off  the access to private keys. If you flash  such firmware none of the existing  software wallets will work with Ledger's private keys  either it'll be Ledger Live, Electrum or some other else.
