No, this guy quoting things is wrong. In the case he's referring to the defendant plea bargained and admitted guilt. They said he couldn't use the money, because it was an established fact (to which he himself confessed) that it was illegally gotten. Whenever you see someone quote SCOTUS without providing the case, assuming they're taking shit out of context to prove a point. This guy even altered the quote slightly to make it harder to find, but the case itself is here -http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/US/491/491.US.617.87-1729.html http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/US/491/491.US.617.87-1...
