What Is the FBI Trying To Hide About Its Raid on Innocent Americans' Safe Deposit Boxes?

Federal prosecutors want to keep key details about the planning and execution of the March 2021 raid at U.S. Private Vaults out of the public's sight.

First, the FBI raided a private business to seize safe deposit boxes and assets belonging to hundreds of people who were not suspected of having committed any crimes.

Now, prosecutors are trying to keep the public in the dark about why the brazen forfeiture effort was undertaken in the first place—and are offering little justification for why such secrecy is necessary.

Four depositions that could be crucial to understanding the motivations and intentions behind the FBI's March 2021 raid of U.S. Private Vaults, a Beverly Hills–based safe deposit box storage business, are being kept confidential at the request of federal prosecutors. Attorneys representing some victims of the raid say the depositions could contain important information about how and why the FBI decided to seize and catalog the private belongings of U.S. Private Vault's customers. They have asked the federal judge handling the case to allow the transcripts of those depositions—including one interview with Lynn Zellhart, the FBI's lead agent in the case—to be filed in their entirety.

Did you read the book One Second After?

In the book, they were discussing that since banks had electronic security, people had valuables in safe deposit boxes they could no longer access because the electric grid was down.

Something to keep in mind.

Not necessarily.

We keep car titles and marriage and birth certificates in there, along with our deed.

The feds are not the only criminals we want to protect that stuff from.

Seems though that if you have one the fed’s think you’re hiding untaxed money or some other valuables.

The FBI is a Criminal Enterprise and this was done to gather and destroy evidence of the Child Trafficking and Raping of children business they have been involved in for the last 30 years.

They’ll switch to 401(k)’s soon enough - they are already government property, after all.

That’s exactly what they think, hence, locking my parent’s box when my dad passed. My mom had to have it opened when someone was there to audit the contents.

When my dad died very suddenly, the bank froze the safe deposit box he held jointly with my mom until it could be opened in the presence of government official to see what was inside of it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My wife and I held one jointly until she passed away in 2018, I’ve had no problems accessing it since and have withdrawn large sums of cash. The bank official doesn’t even stay in the room with me. They are aware too of my wife’s passing. .......... P.N.C. Bank.

The issue appears to be possession without attribution.

Government asserting an authority to attribute ownership of all property to a person.

What good is it to find $1 million in cash if they cannot determine whose cash it is? lol

I hope the Feds had proper warrants because the Bank could be in trouble for allowing them into the Safe Deposit boxes.

the Bank could be in big trouble.

Defund the Federal Police!

The FIB needs to be shut down, period. They are hopelessly corrupt.
