want to see them try stealing NYKNYC
A weird judge ruling doesn't even surprise me anymore, so it could actually happen if there is no defendant. Which means the coins would get confiscated if they'd ever be sent to an exchange. The older I get, the more I believe the legal system is fucked up.
Faketoshi tried something like that but didn't succeed much, even with a backing of a billionaire. Sure, some stupid judge might sign off on some dumb ruling, but BTC is global, so the question is in jurisdiction. Someone in US wouldn't care what some judge in Somalia, Iran, Russia, Germany, UK says and vice versa. Luckily we do not have a global court and police (yet)
