Hypothetically, if one were to seize the assets of, say a billionaire, what would that look like? Obviously, most of these forms are non-liquid. I'm looking for a purely financial perspective. Thanks.

There was this case.
I haven't reread the article but it's from over a decade ago. Man sued a bank and won but they ignored him until he began foreclosure proceedings on a branch office.

Dude should’ve sued for more than just atty’s fees for all the stress and hassle of dealing with the issue.

I work in tech, but for a financial company so what I’ve gathered is from required compliance training.
Large financial institutions are obligated to block and report attempted transactions on blocked accounts. That would likely include blocks on trading accounts I imagine.
As far as actually seizing it, I don’t have solid info but in a mostly digital finance world it probably just involves transferring access and ownership controls to a government entity (by the institutions).
Hope that helps

Varies state by state, there is no one universal rule.
Some states require a conviction, some don't.
