Guys, I think I see why they seized it. This is more complicated than it looks in the story above.

South Fayette retiree, daughter sue to recover $82K seized at Pittsburgh airport

I'm glad the cash was seized pending an investigation.

I don’t see a problem.

Government doesn’t like people to be free.

I think I missed something in the link you provided. I didn’t read anything that warranted seizing the money other than the feds think they have right to and no mention of any investigation.

The woman hasn’t even been charged with a crime.

So it’s ok to seize suspicious funds baring conviction

Am I on the right forum

Sadly yes

What investigation?

There was no investigation. The cash was seized under the asset forfeiture laws.

No investigation, no crime, no arrests, no charges.

Just steal the money.

From your link:

He said when the DEA sent Brown a civil forfeiture notice in October, informing her they intended to keep the cash, they cited “a broad catchall about seizing anything related to controlled substances.”

Nice try! I'd hate to hear your opinion of the President's impeachment... Same comment, I guess...
