I know where my cash is, and the goon squad doesn&#039;t, when I control it rather than the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having put her money faithfully every week in the same bank account for 3 decades did not stop the IRS seizure of the restaurant owner&#039;s cash in the NY Times article above. So if the alphabet agency agents of DHS, IRS, ATF, DOJ or whatever are going to steal your money where you keep it they will have to work to find it if you control it, but if you stick it in a bank account they can get it without even showing up at the bank to steal it from your bank account ... everything can be done electronically today.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use to not provide bookkeeping and tax preparation for farmers and small businesses, and I also was a Systems Accountant, GS510-12, for the US Army, who (as part of my job) once actually hacked into the Army&#039;s mainframe computer, the one that wrote all the Army Personnel checks worldwide. So I know a little more than the average bear about government computer systems. But that&#039;s another story for another time.</p><p><br /></p><p>For many years I represented the farmers and small business owners who hired me to represent them before the tax court against some wrongful IRS seizure of property. I saw the IRS seize these people&#039;s businesses, homes, equipment and bank account all because some IRS agent <b><u>thought</u></b> they had cheated on their taxes and/or had unreported income. Most of the time these poor citizens only mistake was being so foolish as to &quot;trust the system&quot; to protect their rights, and do what was right. My advice to them and anyone else remains to this day: Never trust the system! As long as we have a corrupt system there will never be justice or protection for any one the system chooses to target.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back then the only people who could steal your checking/savings money without due process was the IRS, today every Federal agent and every person associated with law enforcement can do it; city cops, DA, judge, county sheriffs/deputies, state police. If they take your money, count yourself lucky if your bank calls you to notify you, but most people find out their account has been &quot;legally&quot; robbed when they get a notice of a bounced check or just happen to check their balance. So my advice is: Don&#039;t put more money in your bank account than is required to cover any check you have already written.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
