First, for this to even remotely have a chance, it must mean that <i>every</i> wealthy defendant must have their asset frozen, which isn&#x27;t under consideration (or going to happen, and I think it is for the best that it wouldn&#x27;t).<p>And even if it would - wealthy defendants are likely to have &quot;attorney fund pacts&quot; - I&#x27;ll fund your lawyer if your assets are frozen, if you&#x27;ll fund mine. Or some more general &quot;asset freeze lawyer insurance&quot; practice will arise.<p>The problem is that the wealthy in the US do not believe that they play by the same rules, nor do they believe they should play by the same rules.
