They could certainly try; you can start a lawsuit without any real basis if that's how you want to spend your money.

Trying to argue, in court, that you are entitled to have your investment insulated from loss due the primary owner selling it?

>due to the primary owner selling it

We were talking about the courts seizing the assets though, it's not being voluntarily sold.

Why would that make a difference. When someone defaults on a house/car the seized asset is often sold under value, nobody has any ground to sue.

If someone's car is seized by the government, it doesn't cause the value of everyone else's cars to drop by 50%, and if it did, I think people would sue the the government.
