Your contention was that the money on the cards was never seized, only the cards. I had a hard time believing that.
Why?

2)I asked if the funds in the siezed cards cards was given back to the perp since they were never siezed to begin with.
Where is there anything about funds being returned?

Why
Because they were used in the commission of a crime. Civil asset forfeiture (and criminal in this case) allows officers to seize items that were either used or were the proceeds of a crime. It's not a very high bar to jump through to convince someone this dude was doing something illegal, and with a conviction they don't even need to file separate civil proceedings to keep the money.

There wasn't. Which is what lead me to believe they were siezed to begin with.
I feel like you're missing what I am saying somehow.
