There is actually something new in this statement from the FBI:
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/fbi-warns-americans-against-using-non-kyc-crypto-money-transmitting-services
If you actually read the second and third paragraphs, they are quite explicitly telling you that the primary risk is that *they themselves* are going to steal your money.
So by 'something new' I mean that this is the first time you are explicitly being threatened with confiscation. It would not be surprising if this is the start of a trend, but, who knows.
