"We're going to seize your money, until and unless you can prove that it _was_ legitimately yours and not connected with any crime."

Remind me not to use Western Union to transfer money. (I'm glad to see that they're also suing over this, though.)

No doubt it should, although "innocent until proven guilty" is (I think) the original phrase.
