After CBP formally notified Anthonia of the seizure in November, she responded by requesting that her case be sent to a U.S. Attorney for “court action.” Under federal law, the government then had 90 days to file a forfeiture complaint. But prosecutors declined to pursue her case and let that deadline expire this past March. Once time ran out, the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA) requires the federal government to “promptly release the property.” Clearly, Anthonia should have received her money months ago.
The description of the law sounds pretty straightforward - either charge her or give her the money back. Thankfully not much rests on your sympathy.

Am I speaking too fast for you again? Too many syllables? What's your difficulty?

What type of retard tries to take $40,000 in cash across a border and doesn't declare it?
That law hasn't changed in a long time, and exists in most countries.
She tried to smuggle the cash into a very shady corruption hotspot and got caught.
I'm having a hard time working up any sympathy.
