I'll consider sieze to mean anything from intentionally preventing the user from logging in, to wiping away any existence of the account, to liquidating some of the user's positions unilaterally.

The reasoning here would be that there is nothing preventing accounts with negative net worth from playing around with essentially free money and simply dumping the accounts when the loans are called in and turn the balance negative.

@xyz Can you please resolve?

I'm not sure what to do because on one hand, it looks like Manifold siezed around 500k, but on the other hand, according to this Discord message, Catnee had a positive net worth before the seizure. I'm not sure how to square those two things with the question, which asks about seizures of accounts with negative net worth.

@xyz Ian also seized 40k from Nikita who had a negative net worth

@MartinRandall It looks like @NikitaSkovoroda's account dipped and then went back up. Is there a Discord message about this?

predictedYES

@xyz It's the same thread, you can check payment history on the account to confirm

How about large fines of @Catnee ?

@MartinRandall Clearly these fines are a yes resolution. I only bet to 25% because I don't want to bet enough mana to become emotionally invested in a non-productive discussion.

@AlexbGoode Oh, yeah I totally agree. @Yoav thoughts?

predictedNO

@MartinRandall the catnee fine was temporary until they got back from holiday

predictedNO

It was a loan recall. This doesnt strike me as a yes

@MarcusAbramovitch Source?

I think temporary seizing of an account should count for this market.
