You've lived the facts and I bet, having experienced everything related to them, your post makes sense. To me, while I have some idea what you are talking about, I have very little idea what you are talking about.

Read your post again but pretend you had no idea of what happened other than what you wrote. Fill in the gaps. No one can help you until you do.

(Although, civil forfeiture is a bear. The answer is usually you are SOL or you should wait until the Government is ready to give it back.)
