I Wonder

I wonder how much of the $4.2 million raised by the Ronulans was in Liberty Dollars?
Federal agents raided the headquarters of a group that produces illegal currency and puts it in circulation, seizing gold, silver and two tons of copper coins featuring Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
[...]
The U.S. Mint issued a warning this year that the Liberty Dollar violated the Constitution and warned consumers against using them unsuspectingly.
Paul’s campaign said it had not authorized production of the Ron Paul dollars.
“We were aware they existed, but we didn’t have any affiliation with them,” said Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Ron Paul’s campaign. “He didn’t ask our permission to make them.”
Still, I have a feeling that more than a few of the Ronulans are investors in this scam.

With respect to you and your belief that this was a scam, Liberty dollar has been around since 1988. It has never been charged or prosecuted for any crime and the coins and paper they produce do NOT state that they are legal tender. Before, during, and after the raid NOONE was arrested for a crime and this continued after the Feds had all of the evidence they needed but still no arrests….why?
I personally could care less about this collector money, but at the same time I dont like to see ANYONES property seized or stolen to the tune of $20 MILLION plus dollars by Govt or anyone else. There is going to be a lot of explaining going on with this one….stay tuned. Cheers!
