Believed to be tied to "mules" unless their classification method has zero false positives. If it does have false positives then those non-mules have a right to complain.

They used to just kill without trial those believed to be tied to drug deals too.

Everyone has the right to complain about practically anything they want.

But that doesn’t mean that freezing an account suspected of fraud isn’t the right course of action.

Yeah there’s going to be false positives. However that’s precisely why you freeze the account: to allow you time to follow due process and investigation. If you assumed the process was infallible then you wouldn’t need to freeze the account; you would just skip straight to the punishment and remediation stages ;)

If all your money vanished tomorrow you'd have a different argument.

Due process comes before the actions.

What is the threshold?

If two people accounts were unjustly frozen (and they have to do some work to unlock them), and at the same time two hundred people life savings were saved, would that be OK with you?

I don't know about them, but there are plenty of ways for law enforcement to get mule account numbers. After all that's the whole point - actual criminals don't have to reveal their own identity, instead they convince a "mule" to (knowingly or not) participate in a crime.
