Sale of Sugar's helps fund federal law enforcement

According to a story at King5, the sale of Sugar's and a movie about the Barefoot Bandit helped federal prosecutors collect more than $25 million last year.


Seattle U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan says her office collected six-figure totals in a conspiracy to steal 31 old-growth cedar trees from Olympic National Forest and in the case of airplane thief Colton Harris-Moore, the "Barefoot Bandit." 
The sale of a strip club in Shoreline that had been seized during the racketeering investigation of the late adult-entertainment boss Frank Colacurcio brought in $1.2 million. 
The money collected helps compensate crime victims and supports law enforcement and federal agencies.
