Report: FBI Misled Judge in $86 Million Raid on Beverly Hills Vaults

Following the March 2021 FBI raid on the U.S Private Vaults store in Beverly Hills that has been raising questions and a stink ever since, it now appears that the Feds got their warrant for the action by neglecting to tell the judge who signed it that they intended to keep every bit of loot they pried out of every safe deposit box containing $5,000 or more in cash and prizes.

As the Los Angeles Times reports, the failure of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles to disclose the confiscation plan in the raid request was revealed in FBI documents and depositions of agents in a class-action lawsuit by box holders who say the raid violated their rights. The specific information about the agencies’ alleged scheme to bag for themselves the contents of all $5000-and-over deposit boxes comes from recent testimony by a senior FBI agent.
