FBI refuses to return couple's $40k seized from deposit box.

The FBI seized $40,200 in savings from a couple's deposit box during a raid in March 2021, but has not explained why it is still holding their money. The couple has filed a lawsuit with the Institute for Justice, accusing the FBI of violating the Fifth Amendment. The raid on US Private Vaults resulted in the seizure of over $86 million in cash, jewelry, and gold from 1,400 safe-deposit boxes held by hundreds of people who were not suspected of any crimes. US Private Vaults pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder drug money, and the FBI declined to comment on the matter.
