SUMMARY: An investigation has been ongoing for eight months into a Biloxi councilman and his businesses after a raid by the DEA. Court documents reveal that more than two million dollars worth of assets have been seized, including cash, found in his home and at his candy shop in Ocean Springs. The government is now seeking the forfeiture of these assets, which include cryptocurrency accounts and three other bank accounts. Agents searched seven locations in Mississippi and two in North Carolina, and although no arrests have been made, court documents outline offenses such as drug trafficking, drug conspiracy, and money laundering.

New details are surfacing in the federal investigation of Biloxi councilman Robert Deming and his businesses — eight months after a raid by the DEA.
