By this logic, the government should confiscate each and every casino in Las Vegas. People commit numerous crimes, then lose the proceeds in these casinos. In some cases, the crimes occur on property - people are staying there when, for example, they phone in an unauthorized wire transfer from a corporate account, sell drugs, or commit other crimes in order to obtain gambling money. They are profiting from and are the impetus for many fraud, embezzlement, robbery, and drug cases each year.
The casinos have no on-site fraud/embezzlement monitoring programs for the crimes that occur in their hotel rooms, despite numerous cases every year arising from their properties. Someone call the Nevada equivalent of Carmen Ortiz and get these multi-billion dollar businesses confiscated! (I'm being sarcastic, of course - this type of thing is insane and deplorable in a country like the US).
