#4 The $25 million has been placed in storage pending an investigation.

The $20 million has been seized by treasury agents as suspected proceeds from a criminal enterprise.

The $17 million will go towards the budget of the federal agency that made the bust as an incentive for good behavior.

The agency has purchased $5 million of new equipment for agents in the field.

Just think of the millions, no trillions of tax dollars that could be harvested by a cashless system. I recommend a global approach.

Oh WAIT !

#8 Amazing that the USA is stealing money and most feel it's a great thing??

I know not many care for the constitution, but, some of us do and I don't see the provision empowering theft like this with no charges.

Quick, Ulerert Ebbavith7568, name one innocent reason someone would anonymously ship tens of millions of dollars in undeclared cash to an offshore account. Not something I would find underneath the couch cushions, but perhaps you live differently.
