Who said debtor's prison?
There is a difference between going to jail for a debt and violating a court order, even if that court order is to turn over assets. Why don't you look up the penalties for violating a court order (HINT: civil or criminal the remedies are the same). In fact not only can violating a court order from a civil court result in imprisonment, additional criminal charges can occur for the violation itself, so you can be sitting in jail anyway and be hit with criminal charges.
>he could just say no and go about his business.
You think you can just ignore a court order without penalty? Why would anyone comply with a court order then? I'll tell you why, because they Courts have broad powers including imprisonment until you comply (even orders from civil cases).
>They can put you in jail, but they can't take your btc.
Yes, I think I acknowledged that, just as they can't take the cash you robbed from a bank and buried either (notwithstanding your point about how easy it is to seize). How is SWAT going to seize cash that they can't find?
