The FBI conducted a search of illusionist David Copperfield’s Las Vegas warehouse last week and has denied seizing $2 million in cash from the location, as was initially reported in the media.

David Copperfield’s involvement in a case investigated by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations has been mysterious from the start and remains so. It was only days ago, Wednesday Oct. 17, that FBI agents raided a warehouse belonging to the 51-year-old American illusionist, located in Las Vegas.

It was reported at the time that the agents seized a computer hard drive, a digital-camera memory card, and nearly $2 million in cash. FBI Special Agent Robbie Burroughs has denied reports that the money was found in the warehouse, according to the Seattle Times.

Last week, Burroughs said that the raid in Las Vegas was part of an investigation of a case based in Seattle. It was subsequently revealed that a Seattle woman, who remains unidentified, had made allegations against Copperfield, claiming he raped her.

His attorney, David Chesnoff said Friday in a statement: “An unidentified woman has made serious allegations against David Copperfield. It is important these allegations be put into perspective. Although authorities have not revealed her identity to us, we know these allegations are false because David Copperfield has never forced himself on anyone.”

Chesnoff told People.com that his client did not commit sexual misconduct: “There is no way that Mr. Copperfield has ever forced himself on anyone, because that is not the person he is.

“He is a complete gentleman. David is a very intelligent person who understands that people often come after others based on their celebrity status. There is no doubt that this is a false accusation.”

Copperfield, 51, performs monthly in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand casino-hotel. He finished a two-week engagement at the hotel last week, and is scheduled to return Nov. 15-28.

TMZ.com reported that Copperfield has canceled previously scheduled performances in Jakarta, Indonesia due to the organizer’s failure to respect its contractual obligations. The site also informs that Chesnoff has strongly denied speculation that Copperfield would be brought in for questioning by the FBI.

When news of the raid first surfaced last week, Chesnoff’s laconic statement was that he and Copperfield had been told of the investigation: “We understand there is an investigation, (we) are in touch with the investigators, and are respecting the confidentiality of the investigation.”

The warehouse, dubbed by Copperfield the International Museum & Library of the Conjuring Arts, was visited by Forbes last year. It reportedly contains “an Ali Baba's trove of sports cars, vintage automatons, gargoyle heads, gadgetry and an electric chair,” as well as 80,000 books, illusions, posters and memorabilia.
