Not really, but the government may freeze all accounts of a person in all banks in the world.

I was thinking of something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuring
I see, but what I know is that it's allowed to use multiple banks for the purpose of increasing the amount of money under FDIC insurance (which is more like $100k/bank, not $10k/bank).

There are services that split your money between multiple banks just for this reason.

FDIC deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category.

In the U.S. yes, I'm from the EU though where there's a similar insurance (EDIS) which has a 100k EUR limit.
