I wouldn't be so sure. The RICO laws allow the Fed to seize any assets that were part of a criminal enterprise and never return them.
If it really is just an investigation you are entitled to have the assets returned to you as the Feds finish with their process. You're probably going to need a lawyer to petition to get the assets back, and it could take a long time.
Get receipts for everything they seize, and try to keep track of what they do with things. They are also known for losing assets.
What assets are you talking about, automobiles, houses, property, documents? Are the documents being seized from the person under investigation, or is that person a third party to the investigation?
Of course, if this is in anyway related to a terrorism investigation, all bets are off.
