Were it a real country, could not the courts act?

Haven't the BitCoin peoplle already screwed themselves? Remember when some coins were stolen and the changes thr protocol to protect those coins? What would stop the FBI from showing to a court that coins in wallet X once belingef to perp and from the chain they are unspent, so the court orders the protocol to mark those coins as unusable and rhr miners add a new wallet owned by the gov with the coins? It is a protocol afterall and even the simpons know it.
