Perhaps. With a good deal of intervention from the company, their lawyers, their congressmen, etc. But given the comprehensive nature of the list the Customs Service made (hah), it's likely they will only get some of their goods returned. And expect anything returned to be disassembled, broken, and/or jumbled. (The inventory returned to Steve Jackson Games was; I know, because I helped inventory the returns.)
And if the case is kept open -- no indictment brought or any other resolution made -- the Feds can keep the inventory forever! (Again, discounting action by lawyers...)
