Can I just lock up all of some politician's fund right before an election and only allow access to fight the case which will likely take months? Can I do the same with a business? A multinational corporation? Freeze up all the assets of a bank and deny access to funds for any reason including payroll while we investigate?
Where do we draw the line?

Yes, actually. It's a standard tactic that was used in, eg, the prosecution of Michael Milken. It's also nice if you can get some kind of tax angle going so you can threaten the target's wife as well.
