Ok, that headline was a little much. Can you tell it's Friday? Celebrity magician David Copperfield has allegedly been accused of rape by a woman in Seattle. The crime supposedly took place in the Bahamas. Because the supposed crime occurred abroad, the Seattle police turned it over to the FBI . The FBI then raided Cooperfield's storage warehouse in Las Vegas and seized almost 2 million in cash, as well as a computer hard drive and a memory card from a camera. Sounds like he better get in his magic box and disappear for awhile.
On Thursday, FBI officials raided a Las Vegas warehouse used by Copperfield. Seattle FBI agent Robbie Burroughs said Thursday the case was related to one in Washington."The investigation is related to a Seattle case. The Seattle case is pending and that means we can't say anything about it," Burroughs said.
This warehouse is supposedly the Fort Knox of magical crap. Sources says it's an "an Ali Baba's trove of sports cars, vintage automatons, gargoyle heads, gadgetry and an electric chair," as well as 80,000 books, illusions, posters and memorabilia. As well as roofies, duct tape, a stun gun and assorted ski masks. Ok, that last part was a lie. I'm going to hell. Innocent until proven guilty. Though magicking your way out from under a rape charge is probably more difficult than making the Statue of Liberty disappear.
