After blowing a whistle. Do you know that during government raids on people, they seize millions and millions in cash, assets, property, cars, drugs, and other items people who have committed crimes are harboring. It’s really quite amazing when you think of how much money it adds up to, and where does it go? You always hear stories of dirty cops, agents that pocket a little bit of the money for themselves. Who knows if that's true or not, but every day around the world cash seizures are happening. They mostly come from drugs and embezzlement. http://chucklepunch.com/10-largest-cash-seizures-that-will-make-you-feel-poor/ 2 Likes 1 Share

1. Australian Crime Commission Big Bust, $500 million. In 2014 the Australian Crime Commission scored a big victory over the bad guys with this 500 million dollar raid. The task force laid the smack down on gangs, terrorist, and drug cartels that had been laundering money for a long time. The raids took place in Sydney and in Victoria where one of their biggest drug labs was located. 6 Likes 1 Share

3. Columbia Cash Seizure, $50 million. The American DEA routinely works with the Colombian police to raid known drug lords, and terrorists. This was a big raid that the US helped with. Part of the money, around 13 million was even found in one of the criminals homes in a china cabinet. It’s nice to know that the DEA is working with other countries to stop the influx of drugs coming in. 3 Likes

4. $43 Million In Cash Found In Nigerian Apartment. April, 2017, Nigeria's anti-graft agency seized over $43 million in cash during a raid on a Lagos apartment in what it hailed as a victory for President Muhammadu Buhari's war on corruption following a string of setbacks. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said in a statement issued that it discovered the "humongous" amount of money in an apartment in Ikoyi, an upscale district of Lagos. EFCC operatives found $43.4 million along with £27,800 ($34,807) and 23.2 million naira ($73,301) in the seventh floor apartment after a tip-off from a person who noticed "suspicious movement of bags in and out of aparticular apartment in the building." "She comes looking haggard, with dirty clothes, but her skin didn't quite match her appearance, perhaps a disguise," said the anonymous source quoted in the EFCC statement. The money, kept immaculate in sealed plastic wrappers, was hidden in filing cabinets and behind hidden panels in a wardrobe. Lalasticlala, Mynd44 16 Likes 4 Shares
