And I hope most of us don't want to live in the hypothetical society where courts and lawmakers have zero sway over the rich. We complain enough about how untouchable they are already; why would we want to increase that? If a court or law has no way to freeze or redirect funds, that's a bug, not a feature.

This is the same way with any kind of control the state has, it is ultimately based in violence.as you say, the jurisdiction you wanna live in and use your funds in, can pretty easily abduct you for defying a court order on those funds.
