Guest deals some drugs in small family owned motel. Govt want's to seize it

[PSPS]

5. It might not be as simple as this. The owner is likely culpable.

I've stayed in "budget" motels before where I was unable to sleep because people kept banging on my door or an adjacent room's door all night looking for dope or some other nefarious "service." I would try to contact the manager who, of course, was never around. I came to the conclusion that the manager/owner was likely in on the action or, at least, condoned it because of his unwillingness to just kick out the troublemakers.

I'd instruct the bank to reverse the credit card charges and then write to the motel owner inviting them to sue me, telling them I was just giddy at the prospect of describing my experience in a public court. None ever took me up on my offer.

This sounds like the same kind of deal. If this "Russ Caswell" guy isn't interested in cleaning up his clientele by kicking them out, he's part of the problem and should lose his "blight on society."
