Well, obviously, averting the law is what crypto was explicitly created to do.

Moreover, the fact that 'wealthy' is part of the headline tells us that crypto has failed it's founding promise to be a global liberation of money.

That was obvious. You can make money to make money, and so there more money you have the more you can more, and therefore the only way to prevent accumulation ad infinitum is to forcefully take it from people who have it (taxes).

Some divorce laws seem to have the goal of being fair on average no matter what happens in many cases. Other laws seem to desire fairness in a few cases while causing unfairness in many more.

In California now, If you don’t understand why there are so many false claims of domestic violence at the beginning of a custody battle you may be in for a world of hurt.

In the case of someone I know, the wife’s notes from a meeting with a prospective attorney included “DVRO=$”

DVRO is Domestic Violence Restraining Order. For 10 months he only saw his kids with 3rd party supervised visitation costing $100 per hour.

But how did he find out about that line?

If he was intentionally reading the notes his wife took of attorney meetings regarding their divorce, you may want to consider the possibility that the DVRO was genuinely sought.
