Glad you don't think they should keep their ill gotten gains.So do you think the government shouldn't keep the money that has been illegally earned?
Yes.

Quote:
If so whom should have it?
Nobody. they should burn it.

Because I personally think that the government should keep it and use it to run the country and offset the costs of fighting crime.
They could seize billions and billions, and they'd still want our money.

Just imagine if they didn't need our money because we won a court battle where it was ruled that they have enough out of the proceeds of crime.
we'd effectively be encouraging crime to fund the countries spending. but we can't do that because it's not morally right. so instead we'll use crime money and carry on paying taxes etc..
