Pretty much anyone who has $1B has a vast amount of institutional power too. They own the means of production, or they have deep connections in business and government. Those are the things that keep you out of jail. Having a BTC wallet is one of the only ways to have a billion dollars and zero institutional power, so the money is little help here. The US government is also heavily incentivized to come down hard on these sorts of people because they’re threatening the dominance of the US dollar.
