The article doesn’t make this obvious, but does mention that she got her money back.

“After she filed the lawsuit, and about two years post-seizure, the agency returned Martin's cash. But she continued in court in hopes that the judiciary would agree that the FBI was violating people's due process rights by seizing assets with effectively no explanation.”

She lost because she was trying to keep the suit alive to get a precedent. That is very hard to do, and in this case should have been allowed.
