    • CaptA, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4bratpack8, you are an exceptionally tolerant individual to still live in a country that apparently has no regard in the treatment of its citizens! Tasers, swat teams, violated Bill of Rights, Federal law 1001, and too numerous other rituals applied to its citizens. You "vill comply" ... or else? What a way to live one's life... Breaking down the WRONG doors and even killing the innocent that get in the way. Government's motto: Slap'm till it hurts; or better yet kill'm! If it can be done in other countries, why not America as well? And so it is... Remember the R. Nixon thugatarians in the '70s? Downhill fast from there... Great country the U.S.A.!

    • fromonesource, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2Liberty.
      • TritonX, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1I'm not sure americans deserve liberty, they voted for Bush twice, maybe they have to be controlled somehow. /sarcasm
  • Infowarmachine, on 11/15/2007, -2/+2i doubt they will bother to confiscate the coins
    they know they are perfectly legal
    also there are like what? millions of them in circulation?
    • TritonX, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4Yeah, but what does the law means when you think you are above it?
      • Infowarmachine, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1its just not cost effective to round them all up
        stealing insanely large stockpiles of real wealth is worth it, but stealing coins from people 1 by 1 all over the country is just not profitable
        • TritonX, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1No, but they could declare you an enemy combatant if they found some at your home ;)
  • mijunkin, on 11/15/2007, -1/+7The Liberty Dollar people have multiple statements from people at the Federal Reserve, Senators, and many others stating that what they were doing is NOT illegal. This is total BS.
    • creideiki333, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2The Federal Reserve can suck a dick, they are not part of the government, so what they have to say regarding the legality of Liberty Dollars is irrelevant.
  • srodolff, on 11/15/2007, -4/+1New slogan.....Liberty Dollars, as real as Ron Paul........
  • JAVandiver, on 11/15/2007, -3/+2This seems like a scam or possibly a scamola. It seems like this "raid" might simply be a way of defaulting on what is owed without ever haveing to prove anything. If their computers/records have been siezed then how would they be able to send out email notifications to customers, as that "they have no records".
    • jbennett1128, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Um, its called email, bro. You can go to any library and send it.
    • joybran, on 11/16/2007, -0/+3The only scam here was the government's pretense that there was anything illegal about the Liberty Dollar. The government used that scam to steal at least $1 million from people who had done nothing except try to protect themselves from the government's inflation scam. The government must have decided it couldn't defeat the lawsuit filed by the Liberty Dollar in court, so it just sent in the gun-toting thugs to steal all their money so they can't afford to pursue the lawsuit. In case you didn't notice, all their bank accounts are frozen, so not only have they had their entire inventory stolen, all their money has also been stolen.

      BTW, do you actually believe that anyone in this day and age would not have a backup of their customer list offsite, even if they couldn't keep all their daily transactions offsite?
