You can call it that, however this is not asset forfeiture, it&#x27;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.<p>It is nothing like you claim, because if the government loses their case the assets are unfrozen. They can&#x27;t use them, nor do they have actual access to them, until the case ends in a guilty verdict.
