The summons is just that; it has less legal standing than a warrant.
Under a summons, you can agree to comply, or disagree and fail to appear (you have a choice).

This is just a means to have others (who may have information) to provide the Feds with information (as with email spam, it is considered -'phishing').
In reality, any form of currency not controlled by the Feds,or entrusted into an FDIC facility, is considered by the Feds to be "money laundering".
