Civil Asset forfeiture also includes things like when Bernie Madoffs assets were seized and sent back to the investors which was $1.7 billion listed in an article on another person's comment. So it's not 100% comprised of "honest" citizens just getting screwed.
- bpodgursky 5y agoThe terms are confused a lot, but "Assert Forfeiture" includes seizing assets from Madoff. "Civil Asset Forfeiture" is the Really Bad kind people complain about. Only "Assert Forfeiture" overall is a larger volume than theft, because yes it includes recuperation from white-collar crime. The money from civil kind is much smaller (not that it excuses it).
