There's clearly a balance to be had - but if millions of dollars in ill-gotten cash and property in the boxes were his (as he's admitted) then of course the Feds are going to seize those and any others with unknown provenance. It's not like this was a bank, it was in a strip mall. Judges have been siding on behalf of people who haven't been accused of crimes, and they've had their property returned (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-26/judge-rules-against-fbi-beverly-hills-raid https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-26/judge-ru...) which of course is proper.

Beverly Hills has a very large population of Iranian Jews, many of whom do not trust safe deposit boxes in banks because of their own lived experiences in Iran in 1979. This was a business filling a need in our community.
