You can call it that, however this is not asset forfeiture, it's asset freezing (which is vastly different). Furthermore, there is a four point test that judges use to determine if a freezing order is valid. It very rarely impacts anyone aside from perpetrators of fraud.
It is nothing like you claim, because if the government loses their case the assets are unfrozen. They can't use them, nor do they have actual access to them, until the case ends in a guilty verdict.
- geggam 11y agoIf you cannot access your assets because someone has frozen them essentially this is the same thing as forfeiting them. Especially when the use of the assets can be used to prove your innocence... Assuming someone is guilty of a crime and taking their assets is theft.
