- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> context is "what to do with the $200000 we just found" If literally nobody--including the accused--claims it, it's unclaimed property [1]. [1] https://www.usa.gov/unclaimed-money https://www.usa.gov/unclaimed-money
- Supermancho 2y agoEach state and federal body has process for it. It's not uncommon to encounter unclaimed property (including cash), especially with poorly/inaccurately described bank accounts. eg https://www.fdic.gov/bank-failures/unclaimed-property-information-state https://www.fdic.gov/bank-failures/unclaimed-property-inform... Allowing specific state actors to actively claim these goods via civil forfeiture (and bypass these systems) has always been improper. Law enforcement is untrustworthy in many locales, so this is unsurprising.
