Actually we have real world examples of this very sort of thing: someone stealing cryptocurrency from a government agency seizure using the publicly knowable private keys for a wallet. No quantum computer was even involved, just plain old human error.

In South Korea this year, a government agency released pictures of a physical seizure that included written down mnemonic seed phrase.

The funds were then stolen, using that seed phrase.

And then:

> A Korean National Police Agency official said at a press briefing on the 3rd that "the first thief submitted a confession to the Cybercrime Reporting System on the 28th of last month, so on the 1st we arrested the person based on that and are tracking the secondary thief."

So there you have it. The government in South Korea considered this a theft. An arrest was made. Investigations were made.

It is so very obvious that this is what would happen when you steal cryptocurrency from the government. Even when the government agency itself was the one to accidentally publish the private keys so that they became public knowledge.
