    Reminiscent of when Paypal froze all payments to Julian Assange.
    Justice is an illusion.

    Okay, but I’m not so sure about calling Maduro a socialist.

        We can call him a lot of basically untrue things if you want. Let’s call him a sentient mushroom.
        Or we can call him a failed evil dictator that was kidnapped by a not yet failed evil dictator

    Didn’t the Bank of England do that years ago? Were those funds ever released?

      Not sure about Maduro-owned funds, but I read yesterday about the Bank of England freezing access to a chunk of the Venezuelan gold reserve in 2018. That action has been going through UK courts for years.
