Even if the FBI is not able to transfer the money, merely having possession of the wallet file itself is enough to prevent the coins being spent. The Bureau is in a position equivalent to having seized a safe belonging to a suspect with no idea of the combination – and no hope of forcing it open any other way.

Not quite though - as you can have many copies of the wallet  - if I were the real DPR I would certainly scatter copies wide and far both electronically and perhaps even hard copy printed. Try doing that with a safe.
