Yes. Root comment states that government regulation protects wealth by giving examples of several situations in which a government regulation protects wealth. Root-1 comment gives an example of government regulation destroying wealth, by giving a concrete example involving an asset class referenced in root comment.

I would say that the two comments together point towards a complex relationship between governments and the wealth of it’s citizens.

Yes, it's pointing out that regulation doesn't protect one from theft, it just formalizes it.
