A UK drug dealer has been ordered to pay $198million in an asset seizure or spend an extra 10 years in prison by a court in Jersey.

"In a statement, the Law Officers Department said it was the result of several years of "extensive investigation". "The investigation was complex and has involved highly effective and extensive international cooperation with jurisdictions worldwide. "The case is a further example of Jersey's strong resolve and capability to fight complex organised and financial crime.""
The dealer in question's defence is he talks rubbish :D
"Advocate Stephen Baker, for Warren, argued he had no assets, saying: "He has a strong tendency to talk nonsense at times."
I think asset seizures are the way forward for the WOD. But only if they are done properly whereby a court orders the seizure having in effect had a trail to decide what assets the person has. The money should then go to good causes and not the police or courts.
