Comment on Alleged Silk Road drug kingpin denies chargesparent

You can't use the proceeds of crime to fund your defense.

Alleged crime, but you're right. In this country, the gov't can seize your assets and deprive you of them prior to proving that you are a criminal, or that the assets have any relation to criminal conduct.

That trick worked even during the Inquisition. The State never changes tactics.
