Assets that are frozen by any federal agency end up in the U.S. Treasury if they're permanently frozen. Put another way, they're liquidated to pay the interest on the U.S. national debt.

DOJ cannot arbitrarily seize assets, either. An asset freeze requires a seizure order from a federal judge, and a permanent asset seizure usually requires a conviction/civil tort finding or an out of court settlement. Otherwise, assets seized in such a fashion *are* ultimately returned.
