I don;t think they are trying very hard. They make the claim that the property is involved in a crime (not the owner) and the property does not have rights.

And that's why the police always seizes the property of banks and investment firms when there is suspicion of their involvement in financial crimes.

...

Oh, wait, did I say "police seizes"?

I meant of course "government replenishes guarantees and underwrites".
