Magician David Copperfield is being investigated by the FBI.
Authorities won't comment about the investigation, but did confirm that agents raided Copperfield's personal belongings Wednesday night. We're told agents searched a warehouse in Las Vegas where Copperfield stores items for his show.
The raid reportedly stems from an ongoing case in Seattle. TMZ spoke to an FBI spokesperson who refused to comment, saying only that there was an ongoing investigation.
Eyewitness News in Vegas is reporting that 12 agents "stormed the warehouse," seizing a computer hard drive, a digital camera system and nearly $2 million in cash.
David Chesnoff, Copperfield's lawyer, told TMZ, "We understand there is an investigation, we are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation." Chesnoff would not comment on the nature of the probe.

they were searching through his house, but suddenly it disappeared!
FIRST!
Maybe he's got some dead bodies or something stored in those trunks.
The agents' raid netting nothing - it was like everything suddenly disappeared!
I didn't think a person could get investigated by the FBI for being gay.
what the heck that disappearing joke was mine first! darn it , i have to get a faster modem.
Copperfield would not comment because he was busy sawing the FBI informant in half!
He's being investigated for being creepy. I always got a kick out of Claudis Schiffer being his "beard".
Dr. Dave from Toronto, Canada:
Quick Dave! Make them disappear! You're screwed......
Harvey/TMZ~

You're just dangling the proverbial carrot...

The FBI is still investigating how in da hell Copperfield got laid by Claudia Schiffer.
Perhaps David is being investigated by the F.B.I. because he made a 14 year old girl's virginity disappear ?
