That there's a Sub-Zero-size job

I thought "Dollar Bill" Jefferson already had frozen his assets. Hmmmmm. . . .

Anyway, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune clarifies the situation:

A federal judge on Thursday froze the assets of Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, three days after the congressman was indicted on corruption charges.

U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III granted the government's request for a restraining order keeping Jefferson from using nearly $500,000 and about 33 million shares of corporate stock prosecutors say he was paid in bribes.
I WONDER whether the feds are going to have to resort to this to freeze the congressman's financials.
