If someone stole a large sum of money from you, wouldn't you want their bank account to be frozen during the course of the investigation and trial so that you actually had some hope of being reimbursed?
Discussion
I completely understand and respect your position. If, say, you believed that stole your private property, my funds should be frozen until the matter resolved.
My challenge is that this is a slippery slope to abuse. What if I did not actually steal from you, months without access to my money means I will lose my house and my family will starve.
Worse yet, I’m concerned for the possibility of abuse. Perhaps you just don’t like the way I write on Nostr, and you make an accusation that results in my financial ruin? What recourse would I have apart from waiting months for the legal system to decide I was innocent?
The stuff I can buy with money isn't magically protected if it gets stolen
I can see how it would be useful to solve that problem for the money itself, but solving it seems to create more problems - then again, so does money itself
Indentured servitude. The stolen money is gone? The thief better get to work. Not got to prison. Working to pay back the principle amount stolen plus interest. A lot of interest. On a chain gang at gun point if they refuse to work for garnished wages.
