I don't think it is blatantly "illegal" per se. Government can seize your assets for a number of reasons, including for tax evasion. But it is just a very bad executive order and I don't think congress can do much about this.

Sun,
Long time no talk.

There are numerous outs available for those who must hide money...under the pillowcase, in the attic, in the freezer, etc.

War and attacks and the threat of more attacks create unusual reactions even in a "free" country. We have imposed harsh restrictions and responses in the past to protect and defend ourselves.

Even as you object, remember this, in the past, and in America, the special rules adapted for national defense purposes during war time were always rescinded after the hostilities ended.
