The Smoking Gun website has reported that the Justice Department in request from Hasbro has seized over 63,000 copies of the illegal "Monopoly" game.

Justice Department lawyers are seeking judicial permission to destroy about 63,000 copies of the controversial "Ghettopoly" board game, which has been criticized as a racist takeoff on the classic "Monopoly." Earlier this year, Customs and Border Protection agents in Tacoma, Washington seized five separate containers filled with "Ghettopoly" from a ship that had arrived from China. According to the below forfeiture request, the board games were seized by federal agents because they violated a trademark held by Hasbro, which produces "Monopoly."

Check out The Smoking Gun website for the complete report and the 5 pages of complaint that Hasbro filed against the "Ghettopoly" board game company.
