The first contention is correct. The second is demonstrably incorrect.

This case did not involve either gTLDs or domains registered under them.
It involved the ccTLDs of three countries. .IR, .SY and .KP.

And the court explicitly stated that domain names (of any kind) were NOT 
seizable (attachable).

A different answer might be given under the law of a different 
jurisdiction, of course.

But those are facts in that case.
