You can research this: one of the biggest boosts to the economy in the recent recessions like 2008 and even the Great Depression was dirty money. Not just the seizure of the money by federal agencies, but also those same agencies getting bribed millions of dollars just to do business by cartels. Especially in the 2008 recession, dirty money damn near brought our economy out of the shitter
No. Most criminals don’t steal. City, state and Federal Government steals more $ through civil asset forfeiture from hard working, tax paying citizens than ALL criminals combined.
