One could test the story by looking at series dates on the bills. How much of the money is 1970 vintage?

Still, I don’t like the punishment of forfeiture for a non-defined crime. The “REASON” article suggests that the government has an obligation, under law, to show the $400,000 to be ill gotten gains.
