Except this is different. You can't go door to door requesting people to surrender their secret numbers.
And good luck doing that in present day Texas.
Also, boating accidents exist.

They didn't go door to door for gold, afaik. Just the threat will be enough to get most to comply. They have most holders on a list thanks to KYC. Just a threatening letter from the exchange and a few high profile prosecutions should be enough, like it was for gold.
