Unsealing continues
🎅🏻 All I want for Christmas… 🎅🏻
Looks like a reverse trend and from 8 days ago there been 1500+ more indictments unsealed. Usually its going the other way where more get sealed every month. I have tracked this monthly since April and this is the first time I have seen it go the other way. Is De-class starting to ramp up? I am so ready!
I find it very interesting some of these cases. It's the United States versus an address such as 15353 Minnesota avenue. I have no idea how you draw a lawsuit against a Thai restaurant at a particular address versus an actual business or entity. There's another one that is the US Federal lawsuit or indictment against a silver Chevy with a VIN number. I assume that these indictments are to draw particular locations and items in for scrutiny? Like maybe some of those addresses were used for trafficking? Maybe certain vehicles were used for trafficking and to pull them into a federal case they have to be listed as part of the indictment? Any legal beagles able to help me out here?
Could it be for property seizures? A silver Chevy obviously didn't commit a crime but may have been used in a crime. I know years ago there was a local case where a house was used for drug trafficking and state law allowed its seizure even though the house didn't belonged to a family member, not the drug dealer himself.

Doesn't sound implausible. Worth a further look!
