Feds Try To Confiscate $7 Million In Silver Liberty Dollars
Following the recent conviction of Bernard von NotHaus for his "domestic terrorism", "dollar counterfeiting" Liberty Dollar operation (for which he faces up to 25 years in jail and a $750,000 fine), the Feds are now scrambling to recover each and every ounce of physical silver available as part of the fallout. Today, for example, AP reports that Federal prosecutors tried to confiscate NotHaus' hoard of silver "Liberty Dollars" worth about $7 million. Whether or not this 181,000 ounces of "fungible" physical silver will be enough to satisfy Comex silver deliveries by Federal authorities (read a key tri-party repo clearer bank), remains to be seen.
From AP:
"The prosecutors successfully painted Mr. von NotHaus in a false light and now the U.S. Attorney responsible for the prosecution is painting the case in a false light, saying that it establishes that private voluntary barter currency is illegal," Michel wrote.
The trial was scheduled to resume Monday in Statesville. The case involves more than five tons of Liberty Dollars and precious metals seized from a warehouse, which the government wants to take by forfeiture, according to federal prosecutors and Michel.
Federal prosecutors successfully argued that von NotHaus was, in fact, trying to pass off the silver coins as U.S. currency. Coming in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50, the Liberty Dollars also featured a dollar sign, the word "dollar" and the motto "Trust in God," similar to the "In God We Trust" that appears on U.S. coins. "Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism," U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins said in a statement after von NotHaus was convicted.
The concerns raised by von NotHaus and his group are finding resonance among some state lawmakers, too. About a dozen states have legislation that would allow them to produce their own currency backed by gold or silver in the event of hyperinflation striking the U.S. dollar. North and South Carolina are among those states.
Not everyone believes in the purity of von NotHaus' motives: "NotHaus' group has been followed for years by the Southern Poverty Law
Center, a group that tracks political extremism. Long before the
government began its investigation into von NotHaus, the group was
raising concerns about the popularity of Liberty Dollars among fringe
groups on the far right."
"He's playing on a core idea of the radical right, that evil bankers in the Federal Reserve are ripping you off by controlling the money supply," said Mark Potok, spokesman for the group.
Um, is this actually subject to debate?
In the meantime, we wonder just how much more physical in the form silver-tipped "bringer of peace" missiles will be used up in the upcoming Operation Chocolate Dawn about to break out and restore human rights in Ivory Coast.

Looks like they need to seize another few billion ounces to cover JPM's short

The war has escalated. They are fighting fire with fire. Their shorts are no longer functioning, we won that battle, but we need to keep the heat on! Buy silver!
Whats this, Government's afraid of system avoidance and consumer empowerment that challenges their enumerate collectivist Ponzi pledging idiocy.

Yes.
OK, he should not have written "dollars" on his coins, but why are they targeting him rather than the criminial banksters?
Agreed.
Looking at (Title 18 USC 486) http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/718/usc_sec_18_00000486----000-.html, it appears that it doesn't matter whether you try to impersonate a coin or not. Bottomline: You can't create a coin to compete period. Is that possible?
Agree he was foolish in how he did it.
But one thing I never heard the feds explain was how a "counterfeiting" scheme of buying silver at $38 and coining it for us as a $1 coin was going to be sustainable for long. If infiltrating the coins into general use to confuse the public was the concern, that implies they would be used for exchanges worth $1.
Who would do that?
I remember seeing Von Nothaus on a promotional video clip in the 'early days' of internet video clips, circa 1999.
In the segment he spends some of his silver coins at local merchants who seem downright confused, but end up accepting the coins (at least, the ones that made it into the clip did).
I remember thinking at the time that it was sort of strange trying to spend them as legal tender, as at the time the new Sacagawea dollar coin had just came out and I was trying to get more people to use it (alas, they are rusting in vaults now).
While his ethics were in the right place, the Feds targeted him for other reasons and although I think he should simply be reprimanded and fined, there are clearly alternative motives to their bringing a case against him.
The dollar sign first showed up on pieces of eight. They have dollars in Canada, Australia, Bahamas, and a bunch more. Don't bring any back from vacation unspent now or you may be a rightwing terrorist...
Really?
And why not?
They don't own that word.
We do.
I will outlive the United States of America.
Before the United States existed, there were Americans.
After the United States ceases to exist, there will be Americans.
And after the tyranny is dead, we will lead the world again.
amen brother mick! the word "dollar" has many different meanings and is used by many different countries. i call bs on this alleged terrorist conviction. it is extremely difficult to avoid use of banks and credit cards but it can be done. did they have plastic cc's in 1776? don't think so!
You two got it covered! The law is a whore but the anarchists would rather see Geitner and all the Gov Saks (and all government SACKS OF sheet) with their heads on the chopping block rather than this disaster. I couldn't agree with you two more..

Oh sh...t, the guy did'nt make it on the bilderbergers list... wrong caste.
Yep. The feds can bring home a case against a guy minting silver, but haven't indicted or prosecuted anybody related to the banking meltdown.
The cops are bought. Banana Republic USA.
Disgusting, ain't it?
yes, especially when we grow no bananas in the ol' u s of a!

Yeah, what is the legal velocity limit for compliance with a confiscation order?
from answers dot com - "In armor and projectile testing, the lowest possible velocity at which any one of the complete penetrations is obtained; since the limit velocity is difficult to obtain, a more easily obtainable value, designated as the ballistic limit, is usually employed."
so, the correct question (still unanswered) appears to be what is the legal ballistic limit for silver projectiles in a confiscation order.
I still think Robert Kahre for POTUS...
"Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism..."
States as terrorists?
Is there no mention that each "DOLLAR" is worth $38.50 today? Only a moron would try slip these into US circulation. How do you front-run stupidity?
That is irony, isn't it. The Counterfeiter was minting coins of increasing value. Meanwhile the legal tender FRNs are headed to ass-wipe status.
+++ you guys
"How do you front-run stupidity?"
Start a government?
No, and no reason.
He was simply trying to sell Bullion to J6P for the crash.
Where he screwed up was using incorrect wording on the coins.
And trust me, his 7 mil is gone, he was convicted of a Felony, so all his earthly property is now the Feds.
No appeals, screwed.

How are these fake mints still in business? They are making exact replicas of the $50 Gold Buffalo, sans gold. Bernard had a unique design on his coins, these people are blatently copying official coinage and plating it in gold. Is the difference that Liberty Dollars actually have value?
Great point, he might walk based on this.
The fake Buffalo nickels have the govt's name & the word 'cents'.
Much more evidence of counterfeiting than Liberty Dollars, or Ron Paul Dollars.
Exactly. I don't know what the exact opposite of counterfeiting is, but I'm pretty sure liberty dollars fall under that category.
....right you are....that's my take on it...passing off something of lesser value for something of greater value...his crime appears to be more like uncounterfeiting...passing off something actually of greater value than what is recieved in exchange for it....
...and then there is the other very obvious fact: his coins bore no resemblence to anything actually in circulation....our government once again makes itself look stupid.

I believe the extremist thing to do is start taking hostages/blowing up innocents until NotHaus is released from prison. Worked for the PLO didn't it?

i hope no one confiscates my farmville dollars.

There have been proposals to tax virtual money units, if they actually acquire real world value.
That's interesting, considering I attribute negative actual real world value to virtual money units, especially when discussing FarmVille and all those other crap FB games.
Good luck taxing BitCoins (http://www.bitcoin.org/), which are handled by encrypted transactions over a worldwide network of computers with no central servers. Also safe from banks, lawyers, confiscation, inflation, greedy exes, etc. The things to worry about are keyloggers, guns to your head, and the CIA corrupting the source code. The currency is fiat, but it has to be in order to be transmitted over the intertubes. Open source software keeps the number of bitcoins strictly capped. As people wake up and smell the kleptocracy, bitcoins will become increasingly valuable.
Bitcoin is NOT fiat money. You're missing the whole point! The coins are costly to produce or "mine", and their value is dictated by the market, not by law.
Indeed, the fact that it is commodity money which can be transmitted electronically and in privacy, is what makes it such an amazing concept.
Point taken, thanks!
The federal government and the TBTF banks don't fight fair so why should we. Since JP Morgan owns the Chase credit card business, why don't we get 20,000 people to get a Chase Credit Card and buy 100 ounces of silver on it. 2,000,000 ounces of silver unavailable to the Crimex and JP Morgan finances it for us.

thanks mick, one of my favorite coins, the ol' walking liberty half. the avatar is from one of my coins i photgraphed before my digital camera crapped out. too bad it resized so poorly. btw your avatar looks great to me. peace dollars are very nice too.

Just make sure you have no other Chase cards, or cards with high limits.
I tried that 2 weeks ago, and was approved for a $500.00 credit line.
They explained in the letter, that I already had more than sufficient credit lines available from their sister branch SLATE.
They were more interested in me moving balances to them.
Plus they stopped the 5% deal, and will allow you to receive 1% on your purchases, and will give you a 6mo, no interest on pmts.
I told them I never carry a balance period.
Then I was basically SOL, so I told them keep your card, I do not need a $500.00 pissy CC w/ that limit.
Not going to buy much silver w/that.
They were pissed when I said cancel my app, and don't bother, this is a one sided deal, FOR you.
the confiscation begins. give with one hand and take with the other.

I see a lot of these Liberty dollars for sale on ebay. Soon enough those buyers will probably be getting some weird confiscation order.

So does this mean Singapore dollars are illegal in the US now, as they also contain the word "dollar" and have a "$" on them?
This is asinine. Those jurors should be stripped of their citizenship for their treachery, not to mention the prosecutors, judge, and anyone else involved in this farce.
Next up: owning any asset which protects against inflation is considered terrorism, and punishable with 40,000 years in jail.

His mistake was calling them dollars. He could have beat the rap. Unless he was intentionally trying to make some kind of martyrdom move, it was a bad decision. I understand the desire to trade outside of the fiat fed notes, but as they say, bad money drives out good. We need to let the current dollar regime collapse before I would do anything but hold precious metals for long term value.

For anyone else tempted to mint their own alternative money, my suggetion is to call them Quatloos.

Sorta like Robert Kahre's mistake-du-Jour was immediately exchanging the coins for cash? Otherwise all of this would go totally unchallenged.
Kahre's mistake was claiming the face value for tax purposes then claiming the market value to get credit etc...
He tried to have it both ways.
If your going to accept it at face value , you need to spend it at face value.
I don't think he accepted it at face value, that was up to the individual employees. I'll pay you a "dollar" per hour ... of course the wink-wink-nudge was deafening. Much like Mozillo's origination centers. (And I happen to know for fact that the creative income "statements" originated with loan officers ... a friend was protecting himself on a Sillycon valley condo.)
Not all laws are created equal.
And to save time, I'll answer the obvious reply; that he purchased the coins at melt valve. They were purchased at a business that markets US currency. What's a four letter word for currency retailer?
Funny thing, the older coins have a much higher storage fee.
Oh shit, next they'll be after my Canadian silver maples, because they say 5 dollars right on them. After that it will be the gold maples that say 50 dollars. And I think I had one of their green twenty dollar bills in my wallet when I crossed back after spending time in Toronto.
That's it, time to declare war on Canada, those fucking terrorists trying to undermine the USD by having the CAD buy more stuff that the USD.
They only say 5 dollars because that's how much it costs to dig out of the ground!

It's a known fact that anti-Federal Reserve, pro-capitalism, bigot libertarians are anti-Semites and paranoid.
It's a pity, though, that such nefarious hate speech against the FED is not yet punished in the US.
You're signaling to the government that you'd make a good commandant for the concentration camp?
I know the idea may sound a bit far-fetched, but I've always advocated the idea of placing fringe groups such as the so-called 'libertarians' in reeducation camps.
It's not their fault if they have a deranged and paranoid opinion about economics ; the State must act to counter the propaganda they received from their redneck parents at such an early age.
Please do not junk the trolls - It only brings attention to their comments.
Screw that noise. Tyler giveth us the junk button for a reason, as inscrutable as that may appear to you.

Communist Scum ..... The godfather of Modern Libertarianism in the USA was a Wacko
Murray Newton Rothbard (March 2, 1926 – January 7, 1995) was an American individualist anarchist,[1] author, and economist of the Austrian School who helped define modernlibertarianism and popularized a form of free-market anarchism he termed "anarcho-capitalism".[2][3] Rothbard wrote over twenty books and is considered a centrally important figure in the American libertarian movement.[4]
Building on the Austrian School's concept of spontaneous order, support for a free market in money production and condemnation of central planning,[5] Rothbard advocated abolition ofcoercive government control of society and the economy. He considered the monopoly force of government the greatest danger to liberty and the long-term well-being of the populace, labeling the State as nothing but a "gang of thieves writ large"—the locus of the most immoral, grasping and unscrupulous individuals in any society.[6][7][8][9]

Murray N. Rothbard: Libertarianism
Murray Rothbard kicks arse. Ony my way through "Conceived in Liberty", though it's a "Tragedy & Hope" sized work...
Free spirits, the ambitious, ex-socialists, drug users, and sexual eccentrics often find an attractive political philosophy in libertarianism, the idea that individual freedom should be the sole rule of ethics and government. Libertarianism offers its believers a clear conscience to do things society presently restrains, like make more money, have more sex, or take more drugs. It promises a consistent formula for ethics, a rigorous framework for policy analysis, a foundation in American history, and the application of capitalist efficiencies to the whole of society. But while it contains substantial grains of truth, as a whole it is a seductive mistake.
There are many varieties of libertarianism, from natural-law libertarianism (the least crazy) to anarcho-capitalism (the most), and some varieties avoid some of the criticisms below. But many are still subject to most of them, and some of the more successful varieties—I recently heard a respected pundit insist that classical liberalism is libertarianism—enter a gray area where it is not really clear that they are libertarians at all. But because 95 percent of the libertarianism one encounters at cocktail parties, on editorial pages, and on Capitol Hill is a kind of commonplace “street” libertarianism, I decline to allow libertarians the sophistical trick of using a vulgar libertarianism to agitate for what they want by defending a refined version of their doctrine when challenged philosophically. We’ve seen Marxists pull that before.
This is no surprise, as libertarianism is basically the Marxism of the Right. If Marxism is the delusion that one can run society purely on altruism and collectivism, then libertarianism is the mirror-image delusion that one can run it purely on selfishness and individualism. Society in fact requires both individualism and collectivism, both selfishness and altruism, to function. Like Marxism, libertarianism offers the fraudulent intellectual security of a complete a priori account of the political good without the effort of empirical investigation. Like Marxism, it aspires, overtly or covertly, to reduce social life to economics. And like Marxism, it has its historical myths and a genius for making its followers feel like an elect unbound by the moral rules of their society.
The most fundamental problem with libertarianism is very simple: freedom, though a good thing, is simply not the only good thing in life. Simple physical security, which even a prisoner can possess, is not freedom, but one cannot live without it. Prosperity is connected to freedom, in that it makes us free to consume, but it is not the same thing, in that one can be rich but as unfree as a Victorian tycoon’s wife. A family is in fact one of the least free things imaginable, as the emotional satisfactions of it derive from relations that we are either born into without choice or, once they are chosen, entail obligations that we cannot walk away from with ease or justice. But security, prosperity, and family are in fact the bulk of happiness for most real people and the principal issues that concern governments.

lol, you think Libertarianism is "right".
Butthurt faggots can't think for themselves, and should stick to delivering lawn furniture to corrupt Chicago politicians.
God damn, that is the single most stupid thing I have ever read. Well done for locating it.

See how that works?

It sprang forth from this vile pool of deceit .....
Vile pool of deceit? Is that a joke, or are you seriously that deluded you can't tell both Democrats and Republicans are lying to you?
I think you should spend more time watching CNBC. I think you'd like it.
What's the fucking situation in the U.K.?
Every country has issues with corruption always have, always will ... Or can you point out Utopia on a map for me.
But the anarchy libertarianism would bring with it is o.k. ? Look at the criminals throughout world history in every land, and you just want to hand them the keys , madness. The corrupt scum would have a field day in your open , hands off, everything goes society.
You really think it was socialism which built the UK? Or America? No, what built both were ideologies a lot closer to libertarianism than whatever you seem to subscribe to.
"Every country has issues with corruption" - wow, so you are ok with it WHEN IT'S GOOD, AMERICAN, SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION, blasted to you on TV, but heaven forbid it's the kind of corruption which built the country.

Right you are... but you forgot to mention the Libertarian (Tea Party) movement is the biggest lie of all... funded by the Koch brother crowd, and all the corporate money required to seed the anarchy, and enable the complete compromise of democracy (thanks to their loyal Supreme Court majority).
But hey, look at the bright side... you are an integral component of the master plan... 'useful idiots' are the foundation.
I love when people just make shit up, and assume what I stand for.
Please point out exactly where I said I sided with the Tea Party? Really, please do. I would love to see that, as I must have been unimaginably drunk at the time.
The Tea Party is a fucking joke. Can't even agree on a balanced budget. Won't cut entitlement spending.
But hey, keep posting shit you make up, as it frankly tells posters a lot more about you than me.
The Tea Party and Libertarian Party are not connected in any way.
We never had Democracy, so your initial premise is off-base.
True BUT there are libertarians (whom I kept in contact with here in NYS during gubernatorial-I petitioned for Green Party Candidates) who also participate in Tea Party events. I do need to point out that there are different tea parties and the one I deal with are level headed people who don't buy into the false political duality; That said, there are 'the other ones' who think I am going to steal their gun and give it to a Mexican to kill their God.

With this many synonyms in common, it's fair to say "libertarian" and "anarchic" are synonyms also. The only difference seems to be that anarchists oppose political authority and libertarians oppose authority, period.
No doubt Roget's was compiled before Ayn Rand's books came out and the Libertarian Party debuted. Since then libertarianism has become a political position as well as a philosophical one. We can characterize the position in a few words: unruly, ungoverned, and unchecked.
In other words, anarchy. The law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest.

And now you're touting Chinese ADRs? Isn't one collapsing like every five minutes these days?
I love America the way it will be, when it remembers what it always needed, and wanted, to be.
That time is coming soon.
As opposed to the current "America" you love so well, where it's survival of the zombiest?
Clearly butthurt beyond all degree of rational thought Spalding no longer lashes out at owners of gold and silver, because he has been proven stupid too many times to count. Now, he just insults freedom itself.
This is why our home delivery shoeshine boy here doesn't even bother to keep a shinebox. He just licks clean the boots of any politician that orders a dinette set from his "pal", dogshit and all.
"Survival of the fittest."...well, right now we appear to be working on survival of the unfit...that might not be a long term solution.....
Junkers...he is clearly being sarcastic.
I find it hard to believe he is unaware of the /src tag; given the amount of trolls visiting lately, one cannot assume.
Let the demonization of those believing in a basic fact begin. There seems to be a mass delusion by lefty economists that it is ok to spread misinformation and be intellectually dishonest.
"He's playing on a core idea of the radical right, that evil bankers in the Federal Reserve are ripping you off by controlling the money supply,"
Idea?
radical???
Right?
Ripping you off by [inflating] the money supply?
So eventually all the Fed has to do is declare silver eagles to be counterfeits and all will be well. Throw in gold eagles while they are at it.
It is ironic that they spend all this time and energy declaring a form of money explicitly stated in our constitution to be counterfeit while FRNs are inherently counterfeit to actual US dollars. The USA can fix its fixed debt problem any time they want by declaring all FRNs to be counterfeits and therefore null and void.
At least we live in interesting times.
it's not money..it's a silver round, but as stated by a previous poster his mistake was calling it a dollar and either he is setting himself up tp rpove a point and become a matyr or didn't know any better.
Well, do we need to do something about Canada, Australia, Singapore or Hong Kong putting 'dollars' into circulation? Didn't realize there was copyright and/or trademark on the word 'dollar.'
Seriously Tyler shit like this is below you man. I know you want to pump up the Silver Gold bullshit all the time but really WTF.
Which part exactly?
Silver and gold are clearly a conspiracy theory. Everyone knows they don't exist.
Ha ha!

Ya but the can use the unlimited dollars to buy the limited silver and gold. The only problem is doing so at market value makes them look bad after everyone has lost complete faith in the dollar.
