nubbins`: because they put them on
a website where bad people sold bad things?
mircea_popescu: there. good poibnt. the entire in rem proceeding is
a laughable piece of nonsense, in law.
mircea_popescu: In the 80's, with the crack outbreak, the feds began aggressively seeking forfeiture of proceeds, substitute proceeds and instrumentalities of crime. At the time, no one (except those of us actively engaged in the drug and forfeiture defense ) gave
a damn, and the law that developed was quite harsh.
mircea_popescu: This seems an opportune time to add, for the benefit of readers who weren't around in the 1980's, that the law pertaining to in rem forfeitures developed in the context of narcotics seizures. Prior to that, the legal maxim, the law abhors
a forfeiture, was the rule, and judges were generally antagonistic to forfeiture proceedings.

jurov: What if Silk Road is holding some of your Bitcoins as part of some transaction? Why, all you have to do is show up and make
a claim for them — in
a case in which the government is saying that all or substantially all of the transactions through Silk Road are federal crimes. Bring
a toothbrush.
