Wouldn't happen with bitcoins.

  Did happen with the Silk Road bitcoins, 30K BTC of which were auctioned off before the trial.

  It wouldn't have happened with a visa or mastercard either. Bitcoin has literally nothing to do with this.

    Apparently it does happen with bank accounts. So no, your point does not stand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_States#Seizures_of_funds_in_a_bank_account https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United... EDIT: In fact Bitcoin is much better protected against this. m-of-n signatures, brain wallets, hardware devices such as Tresor, etc.
