Redistribute that money to Americans. Seize all Communist Chinese property and redistribute to Americans.

Good point: go after the CCP, not the PRC. A political party cannot claim sovereign immunity.

For all its problems, Los Angeles is still one of the better cities in Mexico.

Look who owns high-end (Merc, BMW, Porsche, Lambo, etc.) used car dealerships in college towns - Chinese H1B, Green card holders, first gen Chinese.

They buy cars with a wad of cash and finance the sale to Chinese students.

Dirty Chinese money becomes Clean Chinese money.

"Gov Hair Gel Newsom sent a billion to China to be laundered."

That is a profound observation. The last I read, he is overpaying 2 to 3 dollars per mask. The questions are: why buy from China, and why overpay? It raises questions of cronyism, payoffs, and money laundering.

Send the money to my girl. It’ll be gone in two hours and no one will have any idea where it went.

Rut Roh. Unintended consequences. So what happens when the Dems aren’t getting their payouts from the drug cartels?

That will surely put a real dent in all those illegal operations.

The money could help to pay down the federal debt.

Hey, would you dress in old rags if you didn’t pay taxes?

American women pay takes and take PRIDE in walking around in raggedy assed jeans!

Depends on what state the seizure is in.
A lot of States have been enacting civil forfeiture reform.

Banks don’t report that as suspicious activity unless it’s actually truly suspicious. Taking 10k out to buy a car doesn’t alert anyone or anything.
