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.

They aren’t even trying to hide their tyranny.
‘Safe’ deposit boxes are not safe from the Govt
but then what is other than the 2nd amendment ?
Epstein clients? Or just procuring more miscellaneous blackmail fodder?
That they did it.............................
Because they’re covering up pizzagate and the sale of poor
little kids into slavery in tunnels under central park and
adrenochrome harvesting and satanic rituals on Epstein’s
island involving objectionable architecture.
It must be so.
They can fill out a form to try and get their stuff back. LOL

The right of private prosecution for criminal offenses is yet another age-old right of English law stripped away from Americans by the Supreme Court in the interests of more "efficient" legal administration.
Mostly wealthy Iranians and Persian Jews who having been buying up Beverly Hills properties.
The heart of the problem seems to be the owners allowed some anonymity to boxholders.
“‘Safe’ deposit boxes are not safe from the Govt”
Have they ever been? Perhaps not.
And then there’s your phone, computer, cloud.
That’s arrogance.
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. Gotta get your tax money, you know.
When she got sick before she died, we learned our lesson and dealt proactively with it.
That one event was enough to sour me on safe deposit boxes for good.
A home safe well hidden is now our preferred way of keeping things safe.
My father learned in the 30s that safety deposit boxes are just feeding troughs for the feds. F’ing FDR outlawed gold possession and ignorant fools tried to hide theirs in safety deposit boxes. The feds just emptied them replacing $20 gold pieces with $20 paper bills.
Having one cast into a concrete floor is best.
Right away that if you have a safe deposit box you’re hiding something from the government.
Wondering if the name was held as your dad AND mom, or your dad OR mom.
Seems like if either of them wanted to get into the box they could not unless both were present?
And how did they know your dad had passed?
My mom made the mistake of saying something to them, not knowing. This was probably 30 years ago and I don’t know if it was “and” or “or”.
They told her that she should not have done that because once they knew, they had to freeze the box.
“learned our lesson and dealt proactively with it.”
It is always good to have a trusted child be co accessor on a parents deposit box. Take inventory of what is in there and be proactive before the parent passes.
