The "is likely to be" part is not true in general.
Changing that "likely to be" into a "may be" would make the statement true(r) without the if-clause.
Also if the if-clause stated "suspected of" rather than "convicted of", then the "is likely to be" part
would be true in general.

I'm no expert, and I would like it if you could clarify my understanding of why you think seizure of assets is not likely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United...

- throwawayjava 9y agoYes, I know exactly what you were referring to. I think this sentence is accurate: If you are suspected of drug dealing, any asset that you can't prove you received through other legal means is likely to be subject to seizure. I think this sentence is accurate: any asset that you can't prove you received through other legal means MAY be subject to seizure. I think this one isn't accurate, though: any asset that you can't prove you received through other legal means is likely to be subject to seizure. Maybe I'm just surrounded by extremely lucky people, but none of the people around me (all of whom aren't partaking in illegal behavior / have never been suspected of illegal behavior) have had the police show up and randomly take their stuff.
