Rather than lose the value of what they have come into, I think the Feds will rather regulate it and like a good mafia type of organization will take it over and move out all who had control over it before.
But, I doubt highly that the money involved would influence any high-level policy decision. The amount is too small for our government, which wastes many billions without a care(see Solyndra or Fiskar, prevailing wage contracting, minority set-asides, welfare and tax overpayments, EPA regs, etc, etc).
