It typically means that a law enforcement agency contacted the bank and told them to stop all transactions, transfers, payments, or any other activity for this person’s account until further notice.

Fun fact, when this happens to ACH transfers (mostly used for checks and things like Payroll deposits), the stop code is 16.
