What do you think would happen to say... an auto mechanic,
who under a similar asset seizure action from the government,
gets caught trying sneak his Snap On Tool collection out the
back door to his friends, or family?

Do you think that schmuck would still be out on bail?



You might be surprised. I was on the wrong end of a business bankruptcy, once...

The guy (new owner of a very reputable business) took deposits for large projects and never delivered. Stole his employees retirement funds, removed all his manufacturing equipment (and declared it stolen).

It was blatant fraud and theft. The bankruptcy judge shielded his every move. The judge seemed less than pleased with me for showing how this was fraud, not poor business....he did not want to hear what I had to say.

The dude now lives, and is back in business, in Mexico. Where amazingly...all his manufacturing equipment showed up.

If you have the balls to go big, the system will protect you.

That was quite a lesson in the reality of American justice.
