Newly Unsealed Court Documents Reveal FBI Got Warrant For Beverly Hills Raid of 1,400 Safe-Deposit Boxes, Seizure of $86 Million in Cash by Misleading Judge

As previously reported, the feds seized $86 million in cash, precious metals and family heirlooms stored in about 800 safe deposit boxes in Los Angeles in spring 2021.

A class-action lawsuit claimed the FBI “exceeded the search warrant approved by the court” when it raided storage provider, US Private Vaults (USPV) and snooped through the contents of the safe deposit boxes.

USPV was indicted by the feds for conspiracy to sell drugs and launder money, however the owners of the boxes are not accused of committing any crimes.

The search warrant only authorized the FBI to inspect the safe deposit boxes to “identify their owners in order to notify them” about claiming their property.

The FBI agents were caught on video going through the boxes, tearing open packages with coins after already identifying the owner’s name.

“Items appear to be missing” – The owner’s lawyer told the Los Angeles Times the FBI’s list of inventory left out $75,000 in gold coins.

The Institute for Justice, a watchdog accountability group is spearheading the fight and filed a temporary restraining order last year on behalf of several owners who stand to lose the contents of their safe deposit boxes if a federal judge doesn’t intervene.

This is the “most outrageous Fourth Amendment abuse that the Institute for Justice has ever seen,” Frommer, the IJ attorney, said when it announced the case. “It is like the government breaking into every apartment in a building because the landlord was dealing drugs in the lobby.”

In June 2021, US District Judge R. Gary Klausner, a George W. Bush appointee issued a temporary retraining order preventing the federal government from seizing safe deposit boxes from four individuals who are seeking the return of their assets until the feds can provide the “specific factual and legal basis” for trying to initiate civil forfeiture.

The judge scolded the feds and said the planned forfeiture likely violates the individuals constitutional due process rights.

Now this…

According to newly unsealed court documents, the FBI and US Attorney’s office in Los Angeles obtained the raid by misleading the judge who approved of the raid.

Sound familiar?

“Records from dozens of lawsuits stemming from the raid make clear, though, that it produced a windfall of tens of millions of dollars for the Justice Department. Local police departments that assisted in the raid have sought shares of the money.” The Los Angeles Times reported.

Today we got footage of Chattanooga Pride Youth Day at Wanderlinger Brewing Co. and this is what kids were subjected to. It’s NOT hard to not spread your legs to kids. It’s NOT hard to redirect a kid away from that area if they grab near your crotch. We have to stop this madness!

=South Australian Catholic schools defend receiving tens of millions in JobKeeper funding

South Australia's Catholic Church banked at least $57 million in funding intended to keep school staff employed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key points:

Figures show 73 Catholic schools received $85.6 million from the JobKeeper program

South Australian Catholic schools received more than 60 per cent of all the JobKeeper paid to schools in the state

The Catholic Education Office says all funds were administered in line with the scheme's requirements

The Catholic Archdiocese, which is responsible for the state's large Catholic education sector, received a large amount of the JobKeeper wage subsidy claimed by its South Australian schools.

Figures from the Parliamentary Budget Office, analysed by the ABC, show 73 Catholic schools received $85.6 million in funding from the former federal government's JobKeeper program.

Corporate governance researcher Dean Paatsch looked at Catholic school funding as part of a wider investigation into independent schools and JobKeeper.

"The Catholic Church in South Australia has had an absolutely ripping pandemic," he told the ABC.

The wage subsidy was available to businesses based on a real or forecast downturn in their turnover of 30 per cent in the early months of 2020.

But Mr Paatsch said many schools' incomes ultimately increased, exclusive of JobKeeper.

"This [JobKeeper] increased the profit of those Catholic schools by $66 million, which is to say that all the JobKeeper paid to South Australian Catholic schools was simply a sugar hit to their profits," he said.

The schools remitted unused funding to the Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide, which oversees Catholic Education SA.

In its report to the Australian Charity and Not-for-profits Commission, the Catholic Church Endowment Society — which oversees the Catholic Education Office — said it had received $57 million of funding from schools and would use it for future projects.

"The federal government's JobKeeper scheme enabled schools in 2020 to provide significant fee relief for families in need whilst meeting all legislative criteria for keeping staff employed," the 2020 financial report states.

"Surplus untied funds has been returned to the Catholic Education Office for strategic allocation to schools in coming years."

The hack was a false flag

Federal government to unveil new security measures following massive Optus data breach

Under the changes to be announced in coming days, banks and other institutions would be informed much faster when a data breach occurs at a company like Optus, so personal data can't be used to access accounts.

The ABC has been told the first step to occur will be directing Optus to hand over customer data to the banks so financial institutions can upgrade security and monitor customers who’ve had their personal details stolen.
