Magician David Copperfield has been linked to an FBI investigation, authorities confirmed Thursday.
A Las Vegas-area warehouse operated by Copperfield was raided by 12 agents Wednesday night, TV station KLAS reports. A computer hard drive, digital camera system, and nearly $2 million in cash were seized, the station reports.
"The only thing we're confirming right now is that there was some investigative activity in the Las Vegas area (Wednesday) connected with a Seattle-area case, both of which are pending," said Robbie Burroughs, spokeswoman for the Seattle division of the FBI.
No other details were provided.
Copperfield's attorney, David Chesnoff, told KLAS: "We understand there is an investigation, (we) are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation."

David Copperfield is the master of illusion. If he can make an airplane or the Statue of Liberty vanish in thin air he can surely make himself scarce. If not his fat wallet should be able to make the charges disappear.

Proof positive if you intend to make a woman's panties magically disappear, then you better have her permission. I like Copperfield's magic and hope he is cleared of these allegations if he's innocent.
