By the same token, if you securely encrypt your credentials and refuse to give them the key despite any threats they may bring, they can't meaningfully seize those assets. Of course that "sharing" may come involuntarily via surveillance software surreptitiously installed on your computer.
If it's a legal case (and not some black-ops) and they have a legitimate order, they can compel you to transfer the money or throw you in jail for contempt (note, I didn't say you have to give them the key, only transfer the money). This sort of thing happens all the time in nasty divorce cases where one spouse tries to lock the money up where the court and the other spouse cannot find it. A few persist and spend a long time in jail.
That is, most people have a really way-too-technical notion of what "seizure" usually entails. In most cases that don't involve the SWAT, it just means ordering someone to do something. In the case of divorcees that don't want to abide the decision of the Family Court, this seems like the expedient way to do it.
