The following excerpt is from United States v. Lavilla, 12-3493-cr, 12-3495-cr, 12-3512-cr (2nd Cir. 2014):
Reviewing the district court's probable cause determination de novo and its factual findings for clear error, United States v. Walsh, 712 F.3d 119, 123 (2d Cir. 2013), we conclude that the government established probable cause that (a) defendants committed the crimes alleged in the indictment and (b) the seized bank accounts are traceable to those crimes and thus subject to pretrial restraint.
