Magician and all-around creepy person David Copperfield is being investigated by the FBI. People scoops:
A Las Vegas 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 yesterday connected with a Seattle-area case, both of which are pending," said Robbie Burroughs, spokeswoman for the Seattle division of the FBI.
We racked our domes to come up with a reason the FBI could possibly be investigating Copperfield–weighted dice? Illegal disappearing lotion from Taiwan? Goofy eyebrow possession?–but as it turns out, a quick visit to that bastion of incontrovertible facts, Wikipedia, held a clue. See if you can spot it!

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.
