Breaking News: David Copperfield being investigated by the FBI!

Magician David Copperfield has been linked to an FBI investigation, authorities confirmed Thursday.
A Las Vegas-area 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 (Wednesday) connected with a Seattle-area case, both of which are pending,” said Robbie Burroughs, spokeswoman for the Seattle division of the FBI.
No other details were provided.
Copperfield’s attorney, David Chesnoff, told KLAS: “We understand there is an investigation, (we) are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation.”
Copperfield, 52, is among the richest entertainers in the world. According to Forbes magazine, he earned $57 million in 2003, ranking him that year as the 10th-highest paid globally.
Copperfield was once engaged to the supermodel Claudia Schiffer, but the couple split in 1999 after six years together.
