“A grand jury indictment is now sufficient for the feds to throw you in prison and seize virtually everything you own. Sure, the assets are supposed to be tainted in order for prosecutors to seize them. A grand jury must believe there is probable cause that you’re guilty of a crime, and that the assets in question were derived from that crime. But, as an old judge in Tennessee once told me, ‘A grand jury in the hands of a skilled prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich.’ Is this just? What happened to innocent-until-proven-guilty and the right to due process?”
