On Feb. 23, 2010 my life was forever changed. My husband

and a partner ran an investment club. They asked me to be the authorized

signer on the account claiming they couldn’t because they were the

principles. I signed whatever needed to be signed for the acct however, my

husband did most things by wire and handled that. On March 11, 2010 my

husband was arrested. The FBI and IRS held guns to me and my 8 yr old who

was home sick. My husband was UCC sovereign. He was held without bail. He

was shipped to over 15 different facilities in a 4 month period of time.

I’m told this is called diesel therapy. During this time I was given a

target letter from US atty Jennifer Bockhorst. It was served on me outside

the courthouse along with a seizure warrant for my vehicle. My dad, a

witness, and I were left stranded over an hour and a half from home. At

the time of the raid the FBI and IRS had a search warrant for business and

banking docs and electronic devices. They took all birth certs, soc

security cards, ultrasound photos, birth prints among many other items

outside the search warrant. They urinated in every toilet and did lots of

damage to the property. I was questioned by the CFTC and later received a

report stating they found I had no knowledge of my husbands business. I

was a homemaker and had been so for 8 years. I coached soccer and was vice

pres of my kids school PTO. Two of my husbands “victims” were my best

friend and my father. Among others were friends in the community. In Dec

of 2010 I was arrested. I was put in handcuffs and driven to the center of

town. When I finally got to the courthouse my hands were purple. At my

home I was physically searched by a female IRS agent. At the courthouse I

was felt up by a male officer and my body photographed. I retained Michael

A Bishop. He never went over any discovery until 10 days before trial.

Then I was given a handful of emails and some grand jury testimony. I was

put through a sham of a trial. My atty did not provide any evidence (I had

notorized statement from someone testifying to the opposite of which they

testified to). The judge, (Jones) refused to allow my witnesses to

testify. I was convicted. The pros atty gave instructions that I was

“willfully blind”. I had no reason to question my husband. The judge has

ordered personal property to be returned. Still nothing. They are going

after every piece of property we have ever owned. Property that belongs to

my minor children that was purchased outside of me and my husband. The

govt even confiscated a bank acct that I receive child support to for my

minor child that is not my husband. They froze that same childs bank acct

with approx 60.00. They spent my whole trial saying what a victim my

father was yet they arrested him for perjury. My father has been seeing a

physician for early onset of dementia. I believe he was arrested because

he owns the house we live in. When he testified to that in court and

brought his paperwork the US atty sent the county tax man out the

following day. I have done a radio show. Also I have been working with the

US Observer. He has done a ton of investigating. I am trying to get my

story out. I am an innocent woman who is looking at losing ten years of my

life. Even the sentencing report is full of lies that I can discount with

physical evidence. My husband has told anyone who will listen that I had

no knowledge or participation in his business. I think this is purely

being pursued for career advancements out of the middle of nowhere VA. I’m

sure I’ve left stuff out but, that’s a good start. Thank you for your

time.
