FBI Commits the Largest Armed Robbery in American History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- In March 2021, people entered a private security-deposit box company in Beverly Hills, CA, broke open hundreds of boxes, and indiscriminately seized their contents - collectively worth over one hundred million dollars. Box holders lost their life savings, family heirlooms, important documents, and more. But the people who took their property weren’t mobsters; they were FBI agents.
Today we have with us IJ attorneys Bob Belden and Mike Greenberg. They’re going to share with us the story of an unprecedented FBI raid-and how the Institute for Justice is making sure it never happens again.

Beyond the Brief explores the legal theories, strategies, and methods IJ uses to bring about real world change, expanding individual liberty and ending abuses of government power. Each episode gives listeners an in-depth, inside look at how-and why-we do what we do.
A criminal with a badge is still a criminal.
Yeah,... the most dangerous kind of criminal.
Y'all are defending a business that did money laundering.
@@alexanderwhite298 That may be true but we are not defending the business. We are defending the innocent people whose money and valuables were STOLEN by badged CRIMINALS.
@@wetzel041 the business was using what was inside the boxes to facilitate the money laundering, so that means all the boxes are suspect of having been used.
@@alexanderwhite298the only ones talking like this are the corrupted cops, who prey on innocent citizens.
These FBI agents need to spend a bunch of time in prison.
As well as their superiors, including Wray! Grand Theft and 18 US241 and 242
Qualified immunity and thugs with badges.
That's the only way it won't happen again
The ones who control them and allow them to continue are the real criminals. Even ruby ridge and waco now look like minor transgressions in comparison.
Under this administration they were probably promoted.
The fact that the FBI did not keep each box’s contents separate and itemized tells that the FBI never had any intention of returning anyone’s property. So much of the property is now unaccounted for.
And pocketed
FBI wives are now heavily bejeweled.
Bingo!!!
How is that allowed? Federal judge needs to rectify this
@@chrisgaffney7265 You live in a fantasy. Judges are in on this, they get part of the money. That's why it's so wide spread, and will never end.
Another example of how unlawful our government is.
ZOG
Y'all are defending a business that did money laundering.
It wasn't the government that was unlawful in this instance. It was the men/women in the FBI who filed a dishonest application for a warrant. They lied about their planned processes to carry out the warrant. They should be held accountable for their lies and for NOT following the warrant rules of engagement. They purjured themselves on a federal document which makes them subject to fines and/or jail time.
Infiltrators into our government. The individuals, not the institution.
@@alexanderwhite298 You sound confused, let me help. How is the FBI's confiscation of legitimate private property of those utilizing the business's lock-box services NOT stealing? ...especially when the warrant expressly prohibited the FBI from doing so? The people here aren't 'defending' a business that did money laundering, they're condemning a corrupt 3-letter agency who overstepped their authority.
It says a lot about the FBI that they did an ROI analysis of seizure costs vs "profit".
It was NEVER about dealing with crime.
It's crazy that they did an analysis that anything under 5G's isn't worth our time in fighting the INNOCENT CIVILIAN. That 100% means it was always about the $$.
And the government can't understand why the citizens are so fed up with them. If they can't tax you to death, they will steal it.
The real crime here was performed by the FBI.
Amen. My exact thoughts.
It's never about dealing with crime.
Y'all are defending a business that did money laundering.
NOTHING will ever happen to any FBI agents or cops helping them for this crime. They ignored federal judges.
Yep, the system is totally corrupt. This will be a big reason when the time comes, no will fight for it.
They got a warrant because the business was doing the crime of money laundering. Stop defending criminals y'all look dumb.
@@alexanderwhite298 You are the problem, this is a case of civil asset forfeiture. The majority of people who had their stuff stolen by the FBI were not criminals and had committed no crime
@@alexanderwhite298 They lied on the warrant to the magistrate also you dolt and made plans to forfit everything even though they told the judge they were not going to.
@@alexanderwhite298
LEO's are the biggest criminals in America.
Please stop defending criminals.
You look like a fool.
This case is disgusting. Every American should know about this. You chances of losing everything via law enforcement is extremely higher than losing it to criminals.
All of these harsh lessons have been taught, over-and-over again, throughout history.
If the 'Sheeple' are stupid enough to trust their LIFE SAVINGS/VALUABLES to another (Bank/et al), then they've earned having it seized/stolen.
Only a *FOOL* would trust this Govt. and their 'Crew' in any capacity.
But the governments of the U.S. are the new criminals!
Most Americans don't have a clue what is going on unless it's on a reality show or a sporting event.
The "law enforcement" just might be the criminals.
Inland pirates,privateers, controversy creators, revenue collection, corporate policy imposers, corporate security henchmen.
Disband the FBI immediately
for protecting larry nassar? never gonna happen.
@@wadestanton Just defund it
@@enigmatic51me95 How else will US Gov agents gain kompromat against the opposition?
The main issue seems to be the disregard for privacy. It doesn't matter what is in the box - the government employees had no right to peek, fondle, or otherwise touch other people's stuff without a proper warrant.
From the looks of it, they don't care and they will not have to care. Most voters are going to just blame the FBI but not the members of Congress or POTUS who are supposed to be keeping them in check.
@@CD-vb9fi
You think our election system is legitimate?
Interesting
i agree, but its a whole new level of...ohh "mine" you have this, so you must me a criminal...mine now
@@CD-vb9fi If you watch Congressional hearings you will note that the DOJ doesn't feel that they need to answer to Congress. that in and of itself is very troubling.
The FBI, ATF and IRS are immune to any and all laws.
"But the people who took their property weren't mobsters..."
Oh yes, they are.
another safe deposit heist was the Depositors Trust Bank in Medford, Massachusetts in 1980. several cops were involved.
Corruption does not just reside at the head of law enforcement agencies. While not every law enforcement officer is engaged in illegal behavior, EVERY officer would engage in illegal behavior if ordered to do so.
The FBI setting a $5,000 threshold to ensure they make a profit is absolutely wild.
The FBI can lose every single case revolving around this and not one single person will get so much of a wrist slap. No consequences at all other than what the taxpayers will have to pay in reparations and/or fines.
Plus all the coins / cash I'm sure was pocketed by agents since none of it was logged.
Everyone involved will be highly sought after by people for their expertise in raising revenue.
It's true. NPR did a piece on it. The immunity law protect agents/police individually from being criminal investigated to a degree. Also for civil right violations and federal money is always there to bail out. For local police it's private third party insurance companies. The pain felt from a lawsuit is managed in those ways.
Theyre protected from being prosecuted by states. Federal agents can still be prosecuted by the federal government for federal crimes committed during the course of their duties.
The issue is criminal tyrants don't prosecute criminal tyrants
The Former Bureau of Investigation should be disregarded, defunded, and disbanded right away.
And investigated and prosecuted for crimes committed!
Tried for Treason and domestic terrorism.
*_FRAUDULENT_* Bureau of Investigation
Putting a cold stop to all those investigations into sex trafficking and other organized crimes across state lines isn't solving a problem.
Herbert hoover was so bad I'd say the FBI was corrupt AF from day 1.
Whoever is responsible at the FBI should be criminally charged and be held accountable.
No better way to let you know you are NOT secure in your person, property and papers.
If the FBI violated the terms of the warrant why did the judge that signed the warrant not call the FBI back to the court that issued the warrant. The FBI is out of control.
Yep.
Judicial bench is complicit.
LMAO as if it was ever law abiding. Nothing personal ❤
Because it proves the judge was stupid to sign the warrant, which he was…..
The FBI is a criminal organization that is being ran by corrupt communists who want a revolution to overthrow the US constitution allegedly so they are doing everything possible to cause said revolution allegedly.
Maybe Director Wray needs to be fired. He has to know this is going on under his nose.
Wray is Sgt Schultz... I know NOTHING!!!
He needs to go to prison for life without parole.
The director is as guilty as is agency
Whether he knows or not is irrelevant. It’s his department and he is ultimately responsible for everything they do.
It is time all US Citizens stop recognizing any authority that criminal organizations like the FBI and the DEA or the ATF which are all alleged criminal cartel organizations and are no longer involved with law enforcement according to the Constitution!
All money has drugs on it. That’s ridiculous
Hunter’s a high roller ;)
Why can't the FBI be charged with crimes, and send people to prison? Why can't the FBI be sued for damages above just returning property, and charged punitively if they don't return property?
Prosecutorial immunity, Trump thinks they need increased qualified immunity BTW
FBI: I am here to help, and steal your money, where is your jewelry box ma'am?
I'm certainly no fan of Reagan, but he was right about "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
This is another great illustration of why so many people say there is no such thing as a good cop. How many federal agents protested what they were doing? How many of them quit because of of the unconscionable things they were being asked to do?
If most cops are good, and there's only a few bad apples, this would have never happened. And if it did, most of the agents involved would have complained in their chain of command and some of them would have quit fact is, these are armed thugs that has been hired by our government, and they couldn't give a rat's ass about the Constitution.
Government Employees are loyal to their pensions. Not their neighbors.
The government ( all governments ) , are merely the gang of violent armed thugs they claim would take over in their absence.
THE COLORADO LAWS OF "FAILURES TO INTERVENE" MANDATE NATIONAL ADDOPTION. WOULD A U.S. CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT BE A TOTALITY OF CITIZEN SECURITY? NOT ! THE RECORDED USG TRENDS ARE FOR TOTAL DOMINANCE OF POWER OVER THE ENTIRETY OF ALL WORDLS' CIVILIZATIONS.
you are so correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BLUE WALL OF SILENCE PROTECTS THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN BLUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's not about good or bad, it's about what people know. how many of you understand the j question? or the replacement elephant in the room? exactly. it's about deprogramming and educating people away from the public schools and institutions
Accountability is just for us little people breaking seatbelt laws.
Presumed guilty. Must prove yourself innocent. We're delusional to think we live in a free country.
Remember this: S.948 Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984 was sponsored by Biden
Under asset forfeiture the government charges the inanimate object with a crime. How insane is that? Then it's up to you prove it's innocence.
So the agents steal someone's coins and the court says the to feds 'pay them back' then the US taxpayer pays for the agents to keep the coins?
exactly, you get it! everyone else misses that point!
That's gang activity.
I saw all agents involved are FIRED and their financial house is torn a new rectum to search every dollar they have and new purchases! How can you be FBI and not know what is right and wrong? CRIMINAL
Except the compensation does not take into account the future value of those coins. A coin might be worth let's say $1,000 today. What would it be worth 100 years from now. The property should have been returned as well as compensation.
@@ygrittesnow1701 >Except the compensation does not take into account the future value of those coins.
This. It's an obscene robbery and the courts are cheating the victims out of the value by making a fiat payout.
Also look into the history of the FBI raiding the Sunshine Mint and stealing eight tons of precious metals related to the Liberty Dollar, including precious metals that were backing certificates held by private individuals.
Christopher Wray needs to be held accountable. He,amongst others,need to answer a lot of questions.
Asked by whom? US Congress? ROFL. They have no legal authority over anyone.
it will just be redacted to protect them if you did get an answer?
Chris Wray has all the videos from Epstein’s blackmail cameras….. instead of arresting the pee doze he watches those videos when touching himself……
He will stone wall claiming an “active investigation “, which will go on forever
Once again, those who enforce the law believe they are above it. Why do some people distrust our government? Does anyone have an idea?
People need to go to prison over this. Life in prison for all agents involved including Wray
I heard about this and couldn't believe that it actually happened. No wonder so many Americans are hostile to their governments.
Actually it’s the other way around. They’re always on a hostile takeover path on the very people they are working for. It’s all an illusion. Wake up people we aren’t free.
I find it extremely surprising that you couldn't believe it, they've been doing this for decades
Yes, considering they(fbi), and the cia killed President JFK as well.
@@mhxxd4 I have a feeling that the person who wrote that is not an American. I bet they thought that stuff like that doesn’t happen here…
It didn’t start out with a crime they were searching looking for a crime without evidence on any box holder. Sounds like illegal searches to me . Stomping on one’s rights to their personal effects and property.

It sounds like a setup to pocket a few million in cash, off record, untraceable. Nearly zero chance of being caught.
But no one will do anything about it, and it will continue
That means that the judge that signed off on the warrant should be prosecuted as well.
It is literally a robbery.
"US currency " & "Assorted jewelry " makes you wonder how much walked off with agents
All untraceable unless the cash was paper money and the box owner recorded all serial numbers.
You'll see it on their wives at the next FBI holiday cocktail party.
I have been hearing from everybody (The man in the gutter all the way up to the president of the United States) "we're going to make sure it never happens again" My entire life, I'm 73 years old and I'm still hearing it today.
Largest armed robbery since the May 1933 gold confiscation, that is.

They just straight lied to a judge and not even a slap on wrist.
Well, if they committed a crime, they may not be "mobsters", but are committing organized crime.
They are mobsters.
Can you imagine the thought process from the "Supervisors" who approved this OUTRIGHT THEFT of peoples money???
OUTRAGEOUS!
How about the Black Robe wearing mob boss that signed off on a search warrant
Could be crime
We are ruled by sociopaths.
The thought process was that their next annual evaluation will look amazing, not only did they thwart "crime" but also generated millions to the organization; for sure their internal application for a higher level job will be approved this time.
Very likely the entire thing was a scam from the start and whoever created the vault was connected to the FBI.
Every single one of those FBI agents needs to be held accountable and go to jail. Then the FBI should be completely disbanded.

It's ironic but also shows the criminality of what the scumbags did, that the whole excuse for the inventory was to make sure nothing went missing, but then they did such a horrible job at the inventory, that it allowed these criminals to probably individually pocket a huge portion of what the agency had stolen.
It sounds intentional, $80 million in cash estimated total, no logs, untraceable. Lied to judges to do the search / seizure. It really sounds like a setup to pocket a few million in cash with almost zero chance of being caught.
We should expect nothing less from the jackboots of the FBI.
the best part is how your own local police are more than happy to abuse you along with the feds when given the blessing.
Even before this, banks never guaranteed the contents of a safe deposit box. There are regular stories of boxes being transferred, lost, etc. with little recourse.
If you don't hold it, you don't own it. Be your own bank.
Wise advice.
The FBI is using the legal doctrine of "finders keepers," which has a long and distinguished history in American jurisprudence.
Takers keepers*
Self accountability in government is the same as no accountability
What do you mean "they were not mobsters" when mobsters is the most kind term which could be applied to the FBI and their bosses in the JUST-US department?
qualified immunity makes all feds sovereign citizens
OH THAT'S WHY THEY THINK IT WORKS!
Yep!
Law enforcement and judicial system employees are sovereign citizen welfare recipients.
Funny how far right wants small government, yet praises law enforcement and military.

Nothing to do with "sovereign citizens" (which is a nonsense term, btw).

@@j._.taylor That's the joke, the feds and police are the true sovereign citizens, above the law in practice.
"They weren't Mobsters"....Yes they are. At least the mobsters are honest about being violent criminals.
Law enforcement and justice agencies should never benefit directly from forfeiture.
Bet there will not be a single person held accountable.
This seems so wrong on such a basic level, it makes me very sad, unlike the victims who must be furiously angry.

And literally putting it/them on the street. What do you think happens to these "angry" PEOPLE?? & Do you think it's not affecting your life??
To steal it and say $5k based in the cost and not a crime, lock them up
why did law enforcement open every box when the bank has a client list that would match each box to the correct customers?
Not a bank, a private secure vault system.
The FBI investigated itself and found no wrongdoing.
I wish we didn't need the Institute for Justice. But, we do. How is it that no part of our government is looking into criminal charges for the perpetrators of this crime?

@@michaelbaker8284 Yeah, what an amazing coincidence. If you believe in that sorta thing.
I've been following this. Seems to me another lawyer - maybe Steve Lehto said that the civil asset forfeiture was planned before they even applied for a warrant. Seems to me they kept that from the judge. IMHO what we have here is a criminal organization. They should fall under RICO statutes. Maybe all the way up to the director. All of them had to know this was armed robbery they were committing against the very citizens they were supposed to be protecting. This should have been set right so many times by now.
It's a FAR cry from when Hoover ran it. I used to know agents. Integrity and following the law was their law. They were the best of the best.
This agency needs some serious scrutiny.
I got a question doesn't asset forfeiture law violates a part of the 14th amendment where it says you can't be denied your property without due process?.......
There is a due process. Hence why the IJ has to fight for these people. The problem is that the "Process" to get your money back is so burdensome and high, most people can't afford to fight to get their property back. Hence why the govt does this kind of BS. They know most people will give up. This case was successful because it was in Beverly Hills, CA and most of those box holders had tons of money to spend to fight the case. If this would of happened in Appolacha, FL in the middle of nowhere, without IJ support the FBI would have gotten away with it.
Law? We now have two full generations raised on the concept that the Constitution is racist and needs to be done away with because it was written by white men. Some of us have been screaming this to the rooftops for decades. The Long March has born its fruit.

Instead of knocking we figured we would just lift the sliding glass door.
Long story short as we were getting a fee ride to juvenile hall for a 3 day weekend one of my partners in crime asks the detective:
"Can't we just give it back?"
Word on the street is that the detective is still laughing, these decades later.
criminals don't use services like this, they don't use safety deposit boxes. That's the idiocy of Civil forfeiture for safety deposit boxes.
It really just sounds like a setup to get their hands on a bunch of cash and gold, pocket a bunch with no way of proving how much they really stole. $80 million in cash alone... Skim several million off the top, who's going to investigate the FBI... Pretty easy way to get a million to each fed involved or close to it untraceable
"hey honey, take this drug money down to the box" 🤣
@@katiekane5247 just like gun registration, what a joke.
Never! Ever! Trust anyone with your money or valuables! 😅
I would sue to have an outside law enforcement agency to check every agents financials to make sure that they didn't make a deposit outside of their deposits.
I would say unbelievable, but I can’t because it was setup this way intentionally.
what about criminal charges for outright theft
That would require a district attorney willing to file the charges and they won't. Our government set it up so that civilians can only file civil cases, not criminal.
Imagine if you had $40,000 in the box with the intention of using it as a down payment on your dream house and they come and take it and you are delayed over 2 years and during that time, home prices increase dramatically and you have lost so much opportunity, and the house you wanted is long gone. Sure, you get the $40,000 back, but what about the losses from the missed opportunities? What about people who just happened to have taken their money out the day before the raid? They are fine, but you are screwed. How are you made whole?
Unattainable. Defeatist. Dismantle your lifelong precious ideals.
To coin a phrase ..
Comfortably numb, on provided profitable "tablets of love. The fallout will provide education tuition for the offspring of lawyers, for years
Every agent that broke the law by intentionally searching those boxes should be in prison for 1 year per box searched.
The most sickening part about all of this, they will pin it on one person in the agency fire him then rehire him. So in the end no one will get punished for this. Until qualified immunity is gone and police and government officials start to get punished for their crimes things like this will continue to happen.
TWO CLASSES. GOVERNMENTS, BY CLANS , AND THE BEES OF WORKERS' OF LIVES OF STOLEN LABOR- PRODUCTIONS WITH THEIR FUTURES.
