Not a lawyer, but this seems like a gigantic unconstitutional fishing expedition by the Feds.
FBI raided a safe-deposit storage company and opened every box. They seized all of the cash and gold there even though they had no idea who the individual customers were. They later built some spurious asset forfeiture cases based on vaporous, unsupported allegations. The judge who granted the warrant specifically told them they could not do that.
