Not really a good instrument then huh
I'm sure some crypto-bro can tell us about how a usb drive could have stopped this.
I have a feeling this falls in some category of "they made it up"...

Million versions of this. One that I could see them trying is:
1. We've stolen a billion dollars of crypto in the history of us stealing crypto - and we can convince ourselves that it's Iran-related
2. Therefore, we seized 1bn$ of Iranian assets
Word-games they use to not feel like they're lying - except no one believes them, so it's kind of dumb.

The kind of crypto that the US often seizes is like USDT - because they can just make a phone call to Tether who will 100% honor their request every single time, because Tether is holding US treasuries to back the USDT and if the US ever gets mad at THEM, they're fucked...
