The smart contract for those tokens supports freezing. Tether just calls the freeze function on that address.

Isn't it already too late at that point? The tokens would have moved already.

Moved where? Moving to a different wallet wouldn't prevent freezing. It's 5B, impossible to cash out or exchange for different crypto quickly.

right but too late to call freeze on the original wallet address as per gp's post. I would imagine it got distributed to many wallets and attempts to tumble by the time Tether could move on it.
