"Law enforcement officials say the tool has proven invaluable in seizing ill-gotten money that criminals hide overseas and that was once out of the government's reach. Under the counterterrorism measures approved by Congress after the Sept. 11 attacks, prosecutors are ****not even required to trace the money back to the target of an investigation.**** "

Of course, you realize that a few years down the road, DOJ will come to congress and say that this power should be expanded to u.s. citizens as well, since "we have had this power for foreign accounts for years now, we just want to remove the loophole"
