After the first publication of an attachment notice, a person who owes a defendant money or holds the defendant’s property and knows about the notice must answer for the debt or property. Disposing of that property to the United States’ injury is unlawful, and known holders must receive personal notice, although missing notice does not invalidate the attachment.
After the first publication of the notice of attachment, a person indebted to, or having possession of property of a defendant and having knowledge of the notice, must answer for the amount of his debt or the value of the property. Any disposal or attempted disposal of the property, to the injury of the United States, is unlawful. When the person indebted to, or having possession of the property of a defendant, is known to the United States attorney or marshal, the officer must cause a personal notice of the attachment to be served upon him, but the lack of the notice does not invalidate the attachment.
