“Schott’s Market, in Fraser, Michigan, was robbed in January of this year. Unfortunately for Terry Dehko and his daughter, Sandy, who own the place, the thieves are government agents in the emply of the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS doesn’t even allege that the Dehkos committed a crime to justify cleaning out their bank account using civil asset forfeiture—they even sent the Dehknos a letter clarifying that ‘no violations [of banking laws] were identified.’ So, why the mugging? The feds just don’t like the way the grocers have been depositing money in their bank account. Really.”
