Some of KDC’s assets must have been in the US.
‘Earlier this week president Obama signed a new executive order into action under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The new policy allows the US government to seize the assets and money of any foreign hacker found to be breaking into American networks. Signed into action, in what is being described as part of a ‘national emergency’, the executive order calls for sanctions to be placed on all international hackers, and calls for them to be treated in the same way that any terrorist or mob leader would be, meaning that any of the Chinese elite cyber army or foreign member of Anonymous, for example, could face having any or all of their American assets seized.’

You could be right, but from what I’ve read our govt seized assets that were not US-based. If anyone has gotten into the details of this with Kim Dotcom, I’d love to hear it.
Something big is about to blow. Within hours.
