You're underestimating violence. They just need the key: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/security.png https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/security.png
Of course that's going to be harder if you don't know who holds the key, but judging from all the raided darknet markets it's definitely not impossible to figure that out.
