I mentioned the aforementioned letter.

As part of the letter, you stated that the office of the sheriff does not seize cash from any of the locations.

NYPD sees his cash for safe keeping and investigative review when necessary.

To the best of your knowledge, has any sheriff's office employee during any inspection of any of those shops ever sees any cash?
