Sue the government for malicious prosecution and civil rights violations.

And violating the Fourth Amendment (unreasonable search and seizure, without probable cause).

aka civil rights violations.

TheButterZone: thanks for looking up and posting all that. While you are at it could you post the current disposition of the other cases found by jbreher earlier in this thread? I am just curious.

USA v Sean Swanson: 05/13/15 dismissed without prejudice
USA v Michael Seiler: 07/08/2015 ORDER denying [43] Motion to Withdraw Plea of Guilty as to Michael Seiler.

Quote from: the motion that was denied http://www.archive.org/download/gov.uscourts.cod.151423/gov.uscourts.cod.151423.43.0.pdf

The defendant, Michael Seiler, by appointed counsel Robert S. Berger, moves to withdraw the guilty plea entered on May 11, 2015. [40] Mr. Seiler informed counsel in a telephone conversation on May 14, 2015 that he wanted to withdraw the plea and proceed to a jury trial. Undersigned counsel discussed this motion with AUSA Michele Korver on May 14, 2015 and informs the court that the government opposes withdrawal of the guilty plea.
Rule 11(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provides:
(d) Withdrawing a Guilty or Nolo Contendere Plea. A defendant may withdraw a plea of guilty or nolo contendere:
(1) before the court accepts the plea, for any reason or no reason; or
(2) after the court accepts the plea, but before it imposes sentence if:
(A) the court rejects a plea agreement under Rule 11(c)(5); or
(B) the defendant can show a fair and just reason for requesting the withdrawal.

Case 1:14-cr-00400-CMA Document 43 Filed 05/15/15 USDC Colorado Page 2 of 3
Mr. Seilers fair and just reason for withdrawing the guilty plea is stated in his own words as follows:
When I was young, I visited my grand parents in what was then East Germany. I saw how a overbearing government can oppress a people.
I could have been notified by FEDEX (Cost - about $24) that I was operating a unlicensed money transmittal service. It is a open question if the regulations applied to Bitcoin.
Instead, Michelle Korver sent about 16 vehicles, and a group of snipers (Cost $10,000s) - and I've never been in any legal trouble. This is overbearing. Perhaps it takes a bit of an outsider to see what is happening to America. I need to explain these dangers to America to a jury, and to the American people. .
Please void my plea deal so I get my chance.
The court should consider the following factors:
(1) whether the defendant has asserted his innocence;
(2) whether withdrawal would prejudice the government;
(3) whether the defendant delayed in filing his motion, and if so, the reason for the
delay;
(4) whether withdrawal would substantially inconvenience the court;
(5) whether close assistance of counsel was available to the defendant;
(6) whether the plea was knowing and voluntary; and
(7) whether the withdrawal would waste judicial resources.
United States v. Yazzie, 407 F.3d 1139, 1142 (10th Cir.2005).
Accordingly, Mr. Seiler moves to withdraw the guilty plea entered on May 11, 2015 and to set this matter for a jury trial on the indictment and for such further orders as are necessary to prepare for trial.

USA v Katherine Noland and Thomas Noland: On 06/10/15 Thomas Noland pled guilty to 18 USC Sec 4. Which effectively every single adult on earth could conceivably be charged with, due to the near-infinite and individually-unknowable amount & text of victimless, mala prohibita felony statutes (aka fake "crimes") in the U.S.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, DECREED, AND ADJUDGED:
THAT judgment of forfeiture of the following property shall enter in favor of the United States pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(1), free from the claims of any other party:
a. $12,410.00 in United States currency;
b. 64.99255187 Bitcoins;
c. Microsoft Surface computer, serial number 017420742153;
d. Samsung Galaxy Note 3, serial number 256691512400004648;
e. Mac Book Air computer, serial number C02G9BV8DJYC; and
f. Apple IPhone 4S, serial number BCG-E2430A;
THAT the United States shall have full and legal title to the forfeited property and may dispose of it in accordance with law.

Thomas Noland's case remains open, Katherine's was closed 06/18/15, the date of her criminal judgment. Also, one of the terms of Katherine's probation was that she can't defend herself for the 5 years, so her blood will be on the government's hands.
