I imagine the person would be going down the path of normal civil forfeiture in order to arrive at having your accounts checked.
There are people giving seminars to law enforcement groups on how to decide what the force needs, how to find who has what they need, and how to target those people for forfeiture. This is all about taking (stealing) what you have simply because they want it not because you have done anything wrong. It is also about cutting around the court system to get at your accounts.
