Consider this an arrest, rather than imprisonment. We don't have to prove a man with blood on his hands is the murderer before we arrest him, that comes later.
People are dying every day -- obviously lawsuits and criminal trials take years in complex cases. A lot more people would be dead by then. Our goal in the immediate term is to stop the war. One of the strongest non-kinetic tools we have for that is these sanctions.
When the war ends, then we can figure out due process... for these guys hundred million dollar yachts. I'm sure they can live without a cruise to a resort island in the mean time while we try to save lives in Mariupol.

OP isn't talking about freezing the funds, OP is literally asking for the funds to be redistributed right now.
You realize that due process isn't something that's reserved for US citizens, right?
> These are Putin's economic hitmen. Fuck them.
Note that I objected to the lack of due processes, not to seizing their assets. Until they have been granted due process, they're merely accused of being "Putin's economic hitmen".
