In order to curtail criminal activity, the government engages in taking assets (Asset Forfeiture) which they believe was used in a criminal enterprise. In order to accomplish this goal, they can take tools of activity such as property, equipment, cash, and even products themselves, from the alleged criminals or the criminal organization, rendering the criminal organization powerless to operate.

To simplify the typical forfeiture process, the standard is not beyond a reasonable doubt (which is required in criminal cases) for the government to prove that the property should be forfeited or seized. It is a lesser standard, which makes it easier for the Government to win. Therefore in asset forfeiture, the government only needs to feel that the seized property is subject to forfeiture. Under asset forfeiture law the best strategy is to trace the proceeds to a legitimate purpose and not to a bank account or a relative.
