There are a lot of people out there who can make a lot of money flow, (and more importantly not flow), in any direction they want.
There are a lot of people out there who can, say, go through all of your tax returns and make sure that every i was dotted and every t was crossed.
Own a business that needed government licensing? There are a lot of people that take action to hold up that process.
And on, and on, and on.
There are a million ways in a society as complex as ours that you can be targeted. I always say that our society has so many laws, regulations, and so on that there is no one who can claim to be law-abiding and have that claim hold up to three letter agency level scrutiny. Or even Halliburton corporate legal level scrutiny for that matter.
You ask for what they could be targeted? I think it was Cardinal Richelieu who wrote about needing only a small amount of work done by a supposed honest man, and in that corpus being able to find something for which that supposed honest man could be hung. It's been 400 years and our technologies are now so good that you probably don't even need a small amount.
When Ukraine war started for example, there were many lists of oligarchs, "Putin's circle" cieculating around. These would lead to, even when there were no sanctions, activism against these names and avoidance of doing business with these names.
Divide & Conquer: (1) Put list of your enemies names on a wall, making then more vulnerable. When they are unable to appear neutral or allied to someone else than your enemy again, they will become socially isolated. (2) Cause some reason why everyone should be scared of being an ally of your enemy. (3) Take down your enemy, knowing no one will come in defense of them.
Note that my first example does not refer to the assasinations of Russian oligarchs, and I only speak of targeting as a tactic of Divide & Conquer strategy.
