http://www.azstarnet.com/news/151826 has an article saying that the Arizona State Attorney General's office is seizing wire transfers over $500 to "block human- and drug-smuggling rings." They've taken over $12M from over 11,000 interstate transactions, and claim to have arrested over 100 people smugglers. "Assistant Attorney General Cameron Holmes said prosecutors use a computer algorithm to review every money transfer sent into Arizona. He said these tend to be in amounts between $800 and $1,500, usually in final payments to smugglers for ferrying people into the United States. " The stolen money goes into a special fund where victims who can prove their money was legitimate can sometimes get it back, if they don't mind spending more money than the transfer was worth on legal costs.
