I have to agree with you. There is no way the US, if they did in fact seize the assets, can legally confiscate our money. They would need to prove the money was dirty. For those of us that can prove that our funds are legitimate, they cannot hold our funds indefinitely. And if they try, we have the right to file a class action lawsuit--there are many legitimate traders and a lot of money at stake. My 9k that I invested was worth 21k. If I had withdrawn it, I would have done so through Coinbase and would have reported it in my taxes. They have no right to take my money. I will fight for it. I hope you will too. Strength in numbers.

have you not read of civil asset forfeiture? they're stepping it up too. and that's for cut and dry innocent cases. this is gonna be a real mess.

Yes and if you can prove your money is clean, you can get it back but you will have to fight for it. That just allows them to seize it without due process. This is why we need to file a class action lawsuit if they do not allow us to withdraw our funds. Having purchased coins with a verified identity on Coinbase, I am personally not worried. It's very easy for me to prove that I wasn't involved in any crime. And who knows, maybe it won't even come to this. Maybe in a week they will let us withdraw.

However, if not, we need to start thinking about how to band together in this and get the ball rolling with an attorney. You all should start gathering your personal account information/emails/transfers/wallet addresses that will help your case and show that your assets were obtained legally. If it comes to it, we can put it all together and hand it over to an attorney.
