I try not to go all law geek on INGO but the The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of Henderson v. United States which should be of interest to INGO.
Henderson was a Border Patrol agent who was arrested and turned over 15 guns to the FBI. After his conviction Henderson sold the guns and asked the FBI to release them to the new owner.
FBI refused saying that Henderson is a prohibited person and thus has unclean hands to receive the proceeds of the firearms. It is obvious that FBI wants a shortcut to forfeiture but we'll see if this approach is allowed.
