Hey, your suggestion is the closest I've heard to a reasonable solution so far. I don't have a reasonable solution, really.

I also completely agree that it's wrong that federal agencies take a cut of all the money they seize (including money that isn't linked to proven money laundering). Like, I'm not saying shit doesn't stink - some of this is shit and it does stink.

However, some of the article itself - or the people being quoted - is shit and that stinks as well.
