Yep. Law enforcement can trace, reverse and seize most crypto transactions. Not sure about Monero but most of the others can be. Look at the oil pipeline ransom: Bitcoin paid and recovered.
I'm sure it was fake, but point still stands, LE can seize Bitcoin. I've got family with a large police agency and he absolutely can and has tracked and seized Bitcoin.
Hitting someone with a $5 wrench until they give you their private encryption keys is not cracking/hacking or seizing. That's plain and simply torture, and the human is the weak spot, not the computer.
Criminals get caught all the time, not because NSA runs a magic supercomputer in their basement, but simply because of human errors and small mistakes which allows the police to find you.
