Immediately upon readying this headline my brain told me "When they find out you have much BTC they will throw an anti-money laundering violation at you so they can take it all."
Now, I'm sure this has been happening for a very long time, not only with BTC, but I think I just now understood how easy it is for them to steal someone's wealth. Perhaps she's guilty of AML, but they are certainly guilty of theft.
I was thinking the same thing. It's like coming into your home and asking where did you get that .... (table, tv, camera...) from? And if you can't provide proof or a receipt they say "ok you can't prove where you got it so we're taking it". A family member has funds locked in a payment services account and the company want to see proof of where the money came from. It was just transferred from their own personal bank account, their own personal savings. And they want 6 months bank statement before they will release the funds. It's just shows you how your money can be stolen from you so easily.
