- syrrim 9y agoIn the US I believe any cash you hold (incl. prepaid credit cards) can be seized by the state if they even suspect it was gained through illicit means. Getting the money back would require you to prove that you gained it legitimately. This is not considered to breach due process since it is not a person being incarcerated, but rather money being incarcerated, and due process does not apply to money. This is referred to as civil forfeiture.
