I'll respond to myself instead of to your response to me. You're getting downvoted enough that I can't reply.

In short, you don't seem to understand or care that your attitude leads to dictatorship and oppression. I have ethical problems with this attitude.

For me, I don't care where he got the money from. If the government can't prove it's the result of criminal behavior, it should have no right to seize the money. It's that simple.

Except that I didn't say anything at all about the Government's right to seize the money.

I commented on the stupidity of transporting the money in such a fashion, and the skepticism of what the article was telling me about how he got the money. And, no, even though you would like to misrepresent that statement, it does not imply he did something nefarious to get it.

So if I understand what you're saying here: "You don't believe that the Government had a right to seize this guy's money, but since you question the story you're given in any way, your attitude leads to dictatorship and oppression."
