David Copperfield -- Investigated by FBI
Posted Oct 18th 2007 7:52PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Celebrity Justice Magician David Copperfield is being investigated by the FBI.
Authorities won't comment about the investigation, but did confirm that agents raided Copperfield's personal belongings Wednesday night. We're told agents searched a warehouse in Las Vegas where Copperfield stores items for his show.
The raid reportedly stems from an ongoing case in Seattle. TMZ spoke to an FBI spokesperson who refused to comment, saying only that there was an ongoing investigation.
Eyewitness News in Vegas is reporting that 12 agents "stormed the warehouse," seizing a computer hard drive, a digital camera system and nearly $2 million in cash.
David Chesnoff, Copperfield's lawyer, told TMZ, "We understand there is an investigation, we are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation." Chesnoff would not comment on the nature of the probe.
The Star Gate is missing from area 51 ???? :)
Likely something foolish - 12 agents “stormed the warehouse” - Boy FBI agents love to play cowboys (especially on all but guaranteed soft targets - What foolishness -)
Evidence of any real skill or talent.
Maybe they’re looking for that 747 that he made disappear!!!:)

OJ memorabilia?
Another pal of O.J.?
How he does that damn card trick.
“stormed the warehouse.”
Yeah, right. They probably had the keys and walked in with warrants.
I’m very sure that they used words like that to report Ruby Ridge.
I’d be interested in what happens if they try to cuff him.
Or made 2 million in cash suddenly appear.
Sounds like he sold it cheap.
The raid reportedly stems from an ongoing case in Seattle.
Uh oh. He must have owned a Mac.
No kidding....really not good to have two MILLION sitiing around.
My guess is homosexual child porn...any takers?
that was my first thought
I keep my two million in a bank... never trusted those warehouses.
Something is up, and it looks like davie is going to do the perp walk pretty soon.
$2M in cash sounds more like a drug deal...rather a large one!
More money..
Hmmm, wonder how soon he'll make it disappear?
Child porn is a booming buisness for those sick twists. I’m just guessing about it all though, no hard facts.
That would be my guess also.
FBI raids Copperfield’s warehouse
FBI agents raided the Las Vegas warehouse of magician David Copperfield Wednesday in an investigation of possible sexual misconduct by the illusionist, a source with knowledge of the investigation said.
Copperfield’s accuser said the misconduct occurred outside the country, but the case came under the FBI’s jurisdiction because the accuser was a U.S. citizen, the source said.
Copperfield’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, confirmed the investigation Thursday.
“If in fact those are the allegations, unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals,” Chesnoff said. “But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably.”

Thailand?
He's the 10th highest paid celebrity in the world ($56-plus million per year).
He owns a cluster of four tiny islands in the southern Bahamas where he says he has found the "Fountain of Youth."
He claims the waters there bring dead leaves back to life and brings near-dead insects back to life, also.

I bet i know. Copperfield thinks he is Charles Dickens?
gay stuff ...... muy guess too... we shall see
I think that they should focus on Jack Dawkins...
“Rumors” about Copperfield and the Ringling Brothers have circulated for years. Again just guessing.

The ones today love to hotdog it.
35 years ago, 2 FBI agents showed up where I worked, asked about one of the employees and then got escorted to the employee’s work area. The told him the guy he was under arrest, put cuffs on him and led him away. It wasn’t ‘til we watched the evening news that we found out he had murdered 5 prostitutes over a 2 year period in 2 states. No fuss, no SWAT, no shouting, they simply led him away.
I’ll guarantee that the same situation today would require a SWAT team as a minimum.
Ditto
People lease, if you spent as much time worrying about your own lives as your this, you be much too busy dealing with your own crap, leave the man alone!!
I, for one, am not worried. P.S. Grammar can be your friend, not your enemy.

Curiouser and curiouser...
LOL....good one....
Agree. Kiddie porn.
Also the “12 agents stormed” line is simply a young news-writer (we called them the “newschildren”) with too much testosterone and not enough experience.
2 mil = hush money?
No - he’s been accused of rape. A woman in the Bahamas filed a claim in the U.S.
Sounds odd. She didn’t make a police report in the Bahamas but did so upon returning. I’m starting to wonder if the lady didn’t file the claim til she found out he has money.
Evidence in a rape case.
LEAVE DAVID COPPERFIELD ALONE!!!!
LOL!
Some people rent or even buy
Can the FBI take ones money just because?
This makes me uneasy about our government!

Hmmm?
