Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] rule permitting those criminals who had most successfully parlayed their drug related incomes into substantial assets to retain those assets would frustrate a remedial purpose of the provision permitting forfeiture of the proceeds of illegal activity. Congress, when it enacted [the federal drug forfeiture statute], certainly never intended to permit those who have violated our nation’s drug laws to keep either the Ferrari or the Chevette which they purchased with tainted drug money.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The hurdle posed by the'substantial connection' requirement is not ... a particularly high one.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“However, the government failed to adduce sufficient evidence showing a “substantial connection between the property [sought to be forfeited] and the criminal activity,” as is required by our decisions in United States v. Santoro, 866 F.2d 1538, 1542 (4th Cir.1989), and United States v. $95,945.18 in U.S. Currency, 913 F.2d 1106, 1110 (4th Cir.1990).”
