"This is 100% true. The DOJ could move against ill-gotten gains in an civil forfeiture action using in rem jurisdiction.
Proceeds of illegal activity never lawfully belong to the person who possesses them because the acquisition of that property is the result of criminal activity and you cannot gain lawful ownership of property via criminal activity.
As a legal matter, ownership of property obtained via criminal activity automatically reverts to the U.S. because the illicit possessor cannot own it.
That is the legal theory behind civil forfeiture -- the Govt takes possession of property it claims ownership over, and the person who acquired the property must show that it derived from a lawful source or transaction.
So, as a theoretical matter, the fact that the Biden family is pardoned would not prevent DOJ from pursuing civil forfeiture against any property it could trace to illegal activity, whether the Bidens are subject to criminal prosecution or not."
