The terms are confused a lot, but "Assert Forfeiture" includes seizing assets from Madoff. "Civil Asset Forfeiture" is the Really Bad kind people complain about.

Only "Assert Forfeiture" overall is a larger volume than theft, because yes it includes recuperation from white-collar crime. The money from civil kind is much smaller (not that it excuses it).
