Biden getting his cut? Asking for a friend?

Wasn’t that supposed to be waiting in El Passo for the big guy?

Biden getting his cut? Asking for a friend? $930K? I gave that guy exactly $1 million. Where'd my other $70K go?

Based on Biden inflation, that $930K is already now worth only $750K.

Proper term is “earmark”.

This is just another instance of asset forfeiture. And I am in a very small minority here at FYI when I say, in situations like this, I have no problems with seizing this cash.
You know and I know this is drug money as is the majority of assets seized in this like manner. If this money is legitimate, then the person has a right to due process. A right these people very rarely use. This is just the price of doing business in a trillion dollar illicit drug market.
Sometimes the mules get caught with drugs or cash, and when they do they claim they don’t know anything about it, the feds let them go and keep the cash and everyone lives another day.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

There is no crime bringing cash across the border. The crime is not declaring it when you do. All they have to do is declare it. A Suspicious Activity Report is then filed with the Treasury department. What is the TD going to do about it when it goes into some stash house in Mexico or Colombia?
I do have a problem with asset forfeiture without due process inside the USA. And yes, obviously this cash is proceeds generated by a cartel from smuggling drugs or guns or humans.

This person actually was violating the law in this case and was arrested.
What we object to is cases where the person was violating NO law and was NOT arrested.
They just happened to have cash on them that the JBT wanted.

If this money is legitimate, then the person has a right to due process. Way too many instances of obviously legit money and property kept by law agencies and the innocent owner is SOL.

I was thinking some of this is protection money payable to Biden and co. for allowing the cartels free rein and transit across the border. 10% to the Big Guy?
Yes, I have bad thoughts, but perhaps not inaccurate ones.

What law made possession of cash a crime?

How often have you brought almost a million dollars across an international border? And for that matter how often have you transported almost a million dollars from a known narco state into the US?
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
Just about every country requires that if you're entering their territory carrying more than "X" amount of cash "or the US it's $10,000) you must declare to customs.
And yes,this is far different from someone traveling County Road 227 in Texas and is pulled over by the Bixby County Sheriff's Dept for a broken headlight and they find $2,000 cash on you,seize it as "suspected drug money",and then send you on your way. Much different,in fact.
