It seems you (or the person who inspired the question) owes someone else a lot of money, and grew tired of waiting for it. Or the account is somehow implicated in illegal activity.

Bank Accounts are frozen by bank authorities or law enforcement agencies when they sense some illegal or suspicious activity in the account. In such a case, you will be able to find out the details from the bank. You need to provide proof that nothing illegal happened in your account and once you provide satisfactory information your account will be re-activated. Bank accounts are also frozen by a court order subsequent to a judgment in favor of a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit.

The satisfaction of judgment must then be served to the bank.
