I agree seizure happens too easily, and that having funds seize not necessarily means you deserved it. Example: I used webmastercheck years ago to issue checks to affiliates, and due to some (gambling? I am not sure) guy having an account with them too, whole webmasterchecks funds was seized for nearly a year... I suppose a few million... including some $80,000 of mine - it was boring, but this is part of being in "high risk, not very supported by banks" adult business. I think webmasterchecks was fully innocent really. Like when police seize a whole server used for 100 sites of different customers, because one surfer posted a bad link in a blog comments field, that some other viewer reported (this happened! In Europe too). I am not stating here that Mansef/Manwin was all ok, I don't know details. Just saying that being seized funds can be bad luck, and real criminals are laundering billions (like Mexico drug cartel on HSBC - this we know as busted, but think at those not busted ever, and going on). I think the real secref of Manwin it is that the investors money come from the pension fund of the Christian Teachers and the Club of the Charitable Republican Senators.
