Agree.So.....because I have gold and silver, does that mean i'm gonna be accused of money laundering? Be nice to have a little more facts of the case to establish the probable cause on the charges statement. Right now it just looks like they were arrested and charged because they had a bunch of gold on 'em. Not saying that they're good people, or honest, or should be left alone, but i'm thinking that was the only form of currency that they were able to smuggle OUT of china to move their wealth here to the US. From what I understand, the chinese government doesn't let their nationals move money out of the US without their approval.
What did the dog trigger on? Gold in plastic cases?
Civil asset forfeiture, pure and simple.
