Hasher-by whom is unknown. However, John Smith of the Las Vegas Review Journal-hardly a rag-reported twice that the accounts had been frozen. I called him and talked to him, and he said he had multiple independent sources for his report.

It wasn't the SEC, since they would have had to make a public request of a judge for an asset freeze, and there would be a record of it.

Which means it's a Federal agency with serious Juice-DOJ using RICO or the Patriot Act- or the Financial Crimes boys at Treasury to gain the freeze without a public action.

I'm guessing it's DOJ using the Patriot Act anti-money laundering provisions, which are draconian.

Hence Urban the Fifth.
