"If not, then why did you make that jump? "

No Jump. As I posted in my previous comment the following line from the end of the article.

Mi>"Mr. Baker said he hopes the legislation will give the SEC seizure powers much like the Drug Enforcement Administration.

I think that is pretty clear. Nevertheless, I understood in the first two sentences of this article where they were headed with this. More reduction of individual rights, it's the nature of our government these days, or hadn’t you noticed.

If you can't see the difference between seizing of a car, used to buy an ounce of pot, which may not even be owned by the person doing the crime and is likely NOT owned by someone with any resources on which to mount a legal defense, and seizing assets which resulted from the alleged looting of a company where there will be a multitude of lawyers willing to take on the case for a cut of the assets if they win, then I don't know what to tell you.

Pretty much, I think that it only makes sense that I should not be allowed to steal a million bucks and then use a significant portion of it trying to get off through the ministrations of lawyers.
