Ok, now what if the legal system is the one trying to get them to run the malicious code?

For example, governments, in the past, have tried to prevent bank transactions from being sent to wiki leaks, even though they were never charged with any crimes.

The credit card transactions failed to go through, but the crypto transactions DID succeed.

Crypto currencies seem to have done a pretty good job so far, of preventing this attack vector.

I can think of no examples where a government has taken over a crypto currency yet.
