why aren't cryptocurrency millionaires just captured and tortured to give up their private key?

With normal banking with large amounts of money, you have to fly to Switzerland or wherever and go into a bank in person. At that point the authorities would be alerted to the danger you are in.

Bitcoin etc has no such protections. So what do the bitcoin richest do, besides stay low-key? some of them are well-known

First of all with some precautions it can be impossible to identify these people,secondly with something like a trezor you can have a dummy wallet for this very scenario,you give them a private key for a wallet that doesnt have much btc in it.

I've wondered this too.

But this would only work if said person had access to their private keys, if they're locked in a vault somewhere it will just be alot of torture for nothing.

Being a public figure makes it hard for you to be captured usually.

As for your fiat millionaire stupidity, well think about it for a second, sure you can't get all of their money but if you torture them you'd be able to get at least a good chunk of money/gold/etc before offing them and vanishing. The probably do millions in transactions a year, so what's another million to some random business front you've created that sounds like something they'd finance.
