Something smells rotten in Denmark. All order information can be retrieved via Liberty Dollar’s website server. Although the FEDS might have confiscated the computers and all paperwork, everything can be re-assembled. Why are some so quick to fault the FBI? If LD forgot they can retrieve order information, they are now on notice. Let’s see what happens.

Courier Press (a local paper there) has this story which may be confirmation that something occurred after all.

“Liberty Dollar employees were at the office this morning cleaning up after the raid. They referred all questions to von NotHaus.”

Which appears to indicate they went to the office and something had happened. Although it is very vague and doesn’t offer much more beyond quotes from the email.

I just spoke with Alan Julian of the Evansville Courier Press (812-464-7458). He was very evasive when questioned about this story, did not answer any of my questions in trying to vet this story and just kept referring to their published story as all the info they had. This is very weird in the news business.

Uhhhmmm… how about calling the Feds. Look inside the windows. The email was obviously from yesterday. Why would there still be Feds hanging around now?

This guy is either the victim of an ominous conspiracy, or a flim-flam man who just took off with a lot of Ron Paul’s supporters money and left the country.

My Wife is going by there RIGHT NOW to take some pictures of the business and see if there is any evidence of anything going on. I should have some pics posted very shortly.

Thanks,
One of the strange parts of the email is that they state the raid started at 8am and that the FBI was there for 6 hours, which would have been impossible at the time the emails were originally received if the raid happened today.
There is also no independent reports or confirmation of the raid other than this single email and a whole lot of second hand info.
Anything someone local can do to confirm or deny this would be greatly appreciated .

I’ll be happy to get some pics of the building this evening and post what I see.

Although the way the email is written its difficult for me to discern if they are still claiming the gold and silver is confiscated…or if it’s already been returned.

“For approximately six hours they took all the gold, all the silver, all the platinum and almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars that where just delivered last Friday.”

Hi,
There is some debate over weather or not the email is a hoax or real. Seeing how you are in Evansville, perhaps you can confirm if their office has actually been raided with a simple drive by to see if there is yellow police tape up all over the building.
