First is the assumption that any kind of money over some arbitrary amount, means it was gotten illegally, & second, who cares if it was? If law enforcement wasn't clever or quick enough to catch them when they were actually acquiring the illegal funds, they shouldn't have any right to seize & hold it while they investigate some crime that might not even exist.

Government small enough to crawl up your uterus or into your suitcase, but too small to tax the rich & shut down pedophile rings.
