Recent comments by Ledger shareholder and former CEO Éric Larchevêque that governments could subpoena access to user funds held on a Ledger device that has subscribed to its new Recover service sparked consternation among Ledger users. Now Ledger’s current CEO Pascal Gauthier has shrugged off concerns, arguing that governments only issue subpoenas in the case of a serious act like terrorism or one involving drugs. “It’s not true that the average person gets subpoenaed every day.”

Aha.

    I’m hoping the older ledger wallets, like nano s, don’t have the hardware needed to even set it up. A guy can hope, right?

    But the average person in this situation are folks who haven’t setup securely holding their coins offline. I’d think anyone worried about government subpoenas is already locked in offline.
