Confiscation is the seizure of property by a government without compensation and for illegal purposes, which is exactly what happened in this scenario. Defalcation is the misappropriation of funds by someone in a position of trust, which does not apply in this case. Dumping is a business strategy of selling goods at lower prices in foreign markets, and does not apply here. Expropriation is the seizure of property by a government with compensation, which also does not apply in this scenario since no compensation was offered.
