Can a judgment freeze bank accounts at more than one bank?

Yes. A Judgment involving a person would freeze all the bank accounts held by that person. For example, if X is involved in embezzlement charges (he stole money from his company worth $50,000) and the company finds out and charges him with that in court. If the court convicts him, he is bound to repay all the money to the company. So let us say he has 3 bank accounts with 3 different banks, the court will freeze all 3 accounts and instruct the bank to pay the money that is available in them to compensate for the $50,000 he stole from his company.
