NL- I’m not a lawyer, nor a genius, but in my opinion sounds like money laundering. And US must have had quite a bit on them to seize the money, and then take it to court. Wouldn’t they usually charge them, and go back and forth with motions for a couple years before it got anywhere near seizure and court?Let me get more info.UPDATE- Thank you to C for all the legal docs concerning the case. Since it’s about 15 pages long I might just post some excerpts later. Readers let me know if you are interested in anything in particular.
