In your case, the $100k you stole through a Ponzi scheme is subject to forfeiture because it represents proceeds of illegal activity.

The money would likely be considered evidence as it directly ties to the crime.

If you gave it to a lawyer for your defense, depending on the jurisdiction and timing, the court might consider the funds tainted, and they could still be subject to forfeiture. Also, lawyers are generally not allowed to be paid with proceeds from criminal activities, and the funds could be seized even after being transferred to a lawyer.
