Prosecutors Ask Tax Evaders To Forfeit Property

Federal prosecutors are asking a court to seize the property of two convicted New Hampshire tax evaders. Prosecutors filed papers last week to begin taking the property.

A jury last month told Elaine and Ed Brown they must forfeit at least $215,000 in property. The Browns were convicted last month of failing to pay taxes on almost two million dollars in income and engaging in elaborate schemes to hide it. A jury also ordered the couple to turn over their Plainfield home or Elaine Brown's Lebanon dental office.

Has anyone in the Brown household studied private property law, especially for New Hampshire, or as a matter of common law? Or the NH constitution? Doesn't the state of NH have jurisdiction over their property, and not the feds?

How about a request for a TRO in local or state court? Or a cease & desist?

Refusing to lie down?

Ed and Elaine didn't even put on a defense. Sheesh.

Federal law trumps state law via the supremecy clause. State law cannot prevent a federal foreclosure for taxes.

It is possible to use the process of foreclosure to fight the Feds in court as this allows additional Due process rights. Also Ed could buy the property back himself by coming to an arrangement with the government. By law the Bov must negotiate/arbitrate in good faith. This could be a good thing for the short term, but only if Ed is willing to give in on the actual debts owed.

Hey Mr. anonymous. Since you think the American government is so great and the Browns are nuts, why do you have to be anonymous? Maybe deep down you know the government, especially the IRS is unfair. Perhaps, maybe the IRS just works for a mob bank called the federal reserve. Oh, we can't let all of those IRS agents lose their jobs. Then they would actually have to find something to do that helps society. So Mr. anonymous, if we're wrong, come on and use your real name and speek against us loudly and proudly. Unlike you I'll voice my opinion against the IRS and I'm not going to be a coward. I've posted about Ed Brown on my blog at http://libertyandaccessibility.blogspot.com

A good start might be to look up the word "without" and ponder it for a while.
