A bit one-sided...

Nothing wrong with the article, per se, but I think it would be great to hear Fuji-san's side of the story, or to learn of any kind of closure on the matter. When someone else described her as "acting strangely", what in fact was she doing? Who was she talking to on the phone, and about what? Where did the money really come from, and where was it going? Was she really involved in drug smuggling, using, or dealing? If not, is she going to get her money back?

I would absolutely hate to be in that situation, to be accused of acting strangely, of looking suspicious, and then to find out that money you're carrying has traces of drugs on it (incidentally, as bills circulate, an incredible proportion of them acquire traces of a wide variety of substances that have nothing to do with their current bearer). There's really no safe defense against that sort of thing - if the agents have decided you're suspicious, and that the money is illicit, you're out of luck. LordAmeth 14:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I know I shouldn't say this on Wikipedia, but I think this woman has... issues. Just looking at someone who brings in several thousand dollars to gamble in another country is disturbing. She probably doesn't give a cent to charities. Seems like a selfish human being who might even be relying on the success of her daughter to live the high life. It's sad that so many people out there struggle to survive, when someone like this throws her money away. I must look down on her family as well for not cutting her off from her vigorous waste of money. - Cyborg Ninja 22:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

That is harsh. I don't think that you should say it on wikipedia. I am not sure why you assume she gives no money to charity. I was under the impression that she is or was based in New York so I am not sure why you assume that she is in "another country." I hope an editor feels is appropriate to remove your comment, and this my response. --218.223.193.144 17:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Those of Japanese cultural descent have (no idea why) a preference for using cash over credit cards. Japan is still largely, or at least half, a cash society.--218.223.193.144 17:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Civil Asset Forfeiture

"Lack of evidence" means they had none whatsoever. There wasn't even reasonable suspicion. What would a person, travelling to Vegas want with lots of cash, I wonder? It should be noted that carrying whatever amount of cash on a domestic flight is not a crime. There is no need to report it (as opposed to international flights). It is (unfortunately) simply policy to seize large amounts (whatever that means) of cash under the blanket assumption that it has to be for criminal purpose, without evidence, without any suspicion other than the cash being there, ... and the incentive that they can keep the money. --2400:4050:A120:5600:79D0:4087:3409:4073 (talk) 14:30, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
