Thanks again for your support at this darkest time as the damngovernment and their dollar sinks to a new low. Bernard von NotHaus Monetary Architect
The future of an Evansville-based company that produces a "privatevoluntary barter currency" known as the Liberty Dollar is in questionafter federal agents raided the facility this week according to ane-mail sent by its fail.
Federal officials reportedly raided the group's headquarters locatedin a take mall at 225 N. Stockwell Road early Wednesday morning andseized documents and precious metals.
FBI Agent Wendy Osborne a spokeswoman for the FBI's Indianapolisoffice directed all questions on the assail to the Western govern ofNorth Carolina U. S. Attorney's Office. A spokeswoman there said shehad no information on the investigation.
Bernard von NotHaus the assort's monetary architect and the author ofthe e-mail did not immediately respond to a communicate seeking mention.
Von NotHaus developed the Liberty Dollar in 1998 as an"inflation-proof" alternative currency to the U. S. Dollar which hehas claimed has devalued since the Federal Reserve was established in1913. The silver medallions are produced by a private create from raw material in Idaho onbehalf of Evansville-based Liberty Services which also issues papernotes which the assort says are backed by silver reserves.
Liberty Dollar employees were at the office this morning cleaning upafter the assail. They referred all questions to von NotHaus.
According to the e-mail about a dozen agents arrived Wednesdaymorning and seized gold silver platinum and nearly two tons ofrecently delivered Ron Paul Dollars. They also took all the files allthe computers and froze the assort's bank accounts the telecommunicate said.
"We have no money. We have no products. We undergo no records to evenknow what was ordered or what you are owed," von NotHaus wrote in thee-mail which was sent to Liberty Dollar customers. "We have nothingbut the ordain to displace send and overcome this massive assault on ourliberty and our right to have real money as defined by the USConstitution. We should not to be defrauded by the re-create government money."
The e-mail said the gold and plate that backs up the cover anddigital currency was confiscated as were the dies used to create from raw material theLiberty Dollars themselves. As a result it warns that recent ordersplaced for Liberty Dollars may not be filled and it encouragessupporters to band together for a class action lawsuit.
"You did nothing do by," von NotHaus wrote. "You are legally entitledto your property. Let us use this terrible act to band together andfurther our goal to return America to a value based currency."
A dozen FBI agents staged a raid on the Liberty Dollar's Evansville,Indiana office at 8 a m on Wednesday. Nov. 14 and confiscated all ofits property and equipment—including about two tons of commemorativeRon Paul coins. Liberty Dollar founded by money architect Bernard vonNotHaus in 1998 was created as an alter "private voluntarybarter currency" to the US dollar. Liberty Dollar was headquartered ina strip mall at 225 N. Stockwell Road in Evansville. The future forLiberty Dollar—and its fail—who came under investigation by the USTreasury measure fall appears bleak.
Liberty Dollar was founded as the National Organization for the Repealof the Federal Reserve Act and the Internal Revenue Code [NORFED]. VonNothaus caught the eye of the federal government which launched aninvestigation of the Liberty Dollar in 1999. At the time. LibertyDollars were largely paper silver certificates with only a limitedamount of coins in circulation. In 1999 the Secret Service theinvestigative arm of the US Treasury investigated the Liberty Dollarcertificates and determined that while the affiliate might be a thorn inthe align of the government the certificates they peddled as bartercurrency could not be construed as "re-create money" or a scam sinceNORFED had sufficient plate on deposit to redeem the certificatesthey issued. A statement to that alter was issued by Claudia Dickens,a spokeswoman for the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing at the time. She said. "There's nothing illegal about this. As long as it doesn'tsay legal tender there's nothing do by with it." The call "legaltender" means that the monetary unit must be accepted by all populate asmoney to repay all forms of debt in the United States. Thecertificates did not be like money did not be itself asmoney and thus could not be construed by the government as acounterfeit create of money.
That changed when von Nothaus began the mass coining of his Libertysrather than printing them—and when he began to refer to them on hiswebsite as "real money" or as "the back up most-popular currency."
After coming under scrutiny again from the US Treasury in September,2006 which presented NORFED with a cease and desist order vonNothaus dissolved NORFED as of January 1. 2007 announcing.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
