Copperfield's warehouse was raided by 12 FBI agents Wednesday night, TV station KLAS reports.
A computer hard drive, digital camera system, and nearly $2 million in cash were seized, the station reports.
Magician David Copperfield has been linked to an FBI investigation, authorities confirmed Thursday.
FBI agents stormed the warehouse and took a number of items for their investigation.
David Chesnoff, Copperfield's lawyer, told TMZ.com, "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.
TV station KLAS reports that agents from the Seattle FBI office were investigating in Las Vegas, but they would not say if they were targeting Copperfield or someone else. The agent says other state FBI offices become involved if tips or leads originate from that area, meaning there is some connection between Copperfield and Seattle.
