Feds seek $7M in privately made 'Liberty Dollars'

Federal prosecutors on Monday tried to take a hoard of silver "Liberty Dollars" worth about $7 million that authorities say was invented by an Indiana man to compete with U.S. currency.

Bernard von NotHaus, 67, was convicted last month in federal court in Statesville on conspiracy and counterfeiting charges for making and selling the currency, which he promoted as inflation-proof competition for the U.S. dollar.

"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. "He very much exists in the world of the anti-government patriot movement, whatever he may say. That's who his customers are."

So a guy goes out to compete with US currency by selling Liberty dollars made of silver. The government says and those accusing him of manipulating people to believe his currency was US dollars. So the people who brought these charges say he is anti-American and anyone who wants to buy silver and gold are anti-government.

If you own liberty dollars you are in possession of counterfeit currency and your possession of it is illegal. You must turn it into the government immediately!

Is this a quote here or is this your personal opinion? I don't follow.

Well that's what I am wondering...why didn't they just offer an even exchange of silver for the currency to all those that have it? They don't want us having silver is the only reason I can think of.

This ruling and action is such a stretch I wouldn't be surprised to see them come after the bouillon sooner or later.

After all they've already don't it once before.

Well I wonder what they are going to do with the silver 'Keisers' that Max Keiser is selling??

Check out the first minute of the video below - the rest if you want a real laugh.

I bet he's got more than 7 million...

And he works with RT.

Let's see the Feds try and have a bash at Max - they wouldn't stand a chance in my opinion.



S&F by the way - great find, and sobering.
