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.

Where is there anything about funds being returned?
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.

I see what you're saying for sure, but there was no mention of criminal forfeiture/seizure of money or retuning thereof in the article or opinion so I'm a little unsure why you're talking about it.

They were the crime.
You think he should get his illegal counterfeit cards back?
