To be totally safe you need to hold in 'cold storage,' totally offline. Unless the feds intercept someone in the act of scamming/stealing crypto and negotiate the crypto back into your hands, it's incredibly unlikely you will ever get your money back.

Interactive Brokers just announced they are going to start trading crypto. If they trade it like stocks, then they hold the crypto for you. This would make it as safe as them holding the stocks in your brokerage account.
