Civil asset forfeiture abuse is rampant across the country. Through the Bank Secrecy Act the federal government routinely seizes the accounts of many small businesses due to suspicion of illegal behavior. These suspected practices, or structuring, are the division of cash deposits into denominations less than $10,000 with the goal of avoiding detection by government agencies. The problem is that innocent owners of small establishments regularly make small deposits as a normal part of their operations. When the Internal Revenue Service is alerted to the deposits, they have the authority to empty the accounts of mom-and-pop drugstores or family-owned restaurants without showing any proof of illegal behavior.

Quick question: What were you doing in 2008?
Were you riding the real estate wave to its peak, or were you busily engaged in other ventures?
As for me, I was heavily invested in real estate when the huge market crash of 2008 happened. It wasn’t a pretty thing. I’ll be honest, I lost a lot of money along side millions of others who were on the real estate bandwagon. Chances are, you might be able to relate.
