They can, will, and do freeze & seize crypto regularly. It's not as secure as you've been led to believe it is. BTC was a govt project after all.

How did they track him down? He took the funds in 2012 and ran it through dozens of transactions. It's supposed to be secure, right? So how did they find him? If you're smart enough to steal 50,000 BTC (from the govt), you're smart enough not to get caught, right?
"Once he was successful in his heist, he attempted to hide his spoils through a series of complex transactions which he hoped would be enhanced as he hid behind the mystery of the ‘darknet."
They found him because crypto is not secure. The big ones are mostly govt honeypots, the small ones are mostly pump and dump scams.
