I know investing is always a risk, so I don't mean dropping in market value or whatever. I mean more like someone saying that even though I put all that money in my 401k and it technically still exists, I don't get to have it. Employers. Banks. Government. Whoever.

In a crisis situation the rules change mid game. The current rules don't allow seizure of 401k but if a crisis happens everything is on the table from bank accounts to 401ks to gold and guns there really isn't any asset class that's "safe" from that level of risk
