>because of a logically tenuous action against their assets
Generally speaking, in order to get intrusive injunctive relief of this level, you need to have a VERY good record.
Without the ability to freeze assets, someone can defraud you then use the proceeds of fraud itself to fund a legal defense while hiding assets. Or draw out the case and take a decade long vacation in Ibiza on your dime.
Which happens. A lot.
The court isn't going to get it right 100% of the time, but it does the vast majority of times when it comes to these cases - evidentiary standards are so high that people regularly write off MILLIONS of dollars in fraud losses because of how hard these remedies are to get.
Without a desire to understand how the system works on your end, it's impossible on my end to explain WHY these rules exist.
