1. Agent
   • If you choose to abandon and walk away from the money and any type of federal investigation, you are welcome to do that
   • Not to sound like a used car salesman but I will give you, all of your options
     • If you chose to walk away
     • We do have abandonment forms here
     • If you choose to forego the seizure of the phone and any investigation
     • I am going to seize the money
     • If you sign this, nobody from the US Attorney will contact you and we won’t be
     • And, we won’t be doing any kind of investigation
     • It ends when we both sign that
2. Daniel Alban ( Attorney )
   • There is no presumption of innocence in civil forfeiture cases

   • They do this on the road as well. I saw a guy that was driving from New York to Tennessee to buy a gas station, and the state troopers took his money. He had no criminal record, could prove sale and owned four gas stations in New York already.

   • ‘Walk away from the money and we won’t investigate you’ sounds like a bribe to me.
