What happens to the money if an account is frozen or turned off?

They unwind all the transactions and give the money to the people that originally sent money to Wikileaks, right?

No, they keep the money until whatever dispute there is, is settled.

Typically they hold on to it for half a year and then pay it out to the merchant.
