I fear if Bad Guys want money and you tell them something like, "you can't get it, it's on multisig wallets with geographically distributed individuals in control", that's still a You problem and you've only bought yourself a little time before they come back to collect, and/or break your legs if they can't collect.

I may have to file this one under, "everyone wants to be a gangster until it's time to do gangster things"

At that point you are at "People want money you don't have and are willing to break your legs".

No relation to crypto or even who you are anymore.

Unfortunately, if you owe bad guys money, they'll want it, no matter the excuse you give them.

>No relation to crypto or even who you are anymore.

The relation with crypto is that crypto doesn't solve this problem either.

It solves the problem, that the money is protected (in the same way that I assume something like "manual multisig", which I assume exists, solves the problem in traditional banking).

Nothing can solve the problem of protecting you from "bad men" who want to hurt you and don’t care about anything else.
