I’m starting to believe the government has a quantum computer that has the ability to process very large numbers ex 1 followed by 75 zeros. Cause they’re magically obtaining private keys. And we all know. They spend trillions to stay ahead with defense.. criminals tend to love crypto, so the government has to be a step ahead.

OPs imagination: the government and the Illuminati have a many-qubit quantum supercomputer capable of deriving private keys and breaking into your 2048 bit encrypted cold wallet.

Reality: FBI junior recruit hits you with a wrench until you tell them what the key is.

If they had that capability, they would use it for intelligence gathering, and not risking leaking information about it in some crypto BEC scam.

You don’t need to crack the keys when it’s much easier to take them.

I have no proof here, but don't underestimate the power of a rock near one’s delicate areas. It's easier to get a key by just asking politely.

Everything is stored unencrypted somewhere. Getting access to that somewhere might be easiest.
