But seriously folks, isn't this an overt violation of the 5th Amendment?

How does such a case proceed?

When and under what circumstances did this theft occur?

Schwab took the shares from me and put them in an "escrow" account because of an order from the Biden adminstration.

I don't have access to the shares and they will not tell me if I will ever get them back.

Yes, please answer @Shaman.

I answered Shaman, if you were asking me to.

You can ultimately beat the rap, but not the ride.

The Founding Fathers AND the British would have been appalled.

You could face prison time or at least damages for boarding neutrals and siezing the property, even in nebulous circumstances.

Anglo-Saxons have traditionally, unlike Continentals which we are becoming, been disgusted by government seizure of property that did not arise as punishment for a crime.

I split lines on semicolon

1-No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the
land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger;
2-nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
3-nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
4-nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Does this mean chunk #3 is all connected? Like, the "deprived of property" clause is in reference to a criminal case?

I think #3 is two statements:

No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.
No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

You will have to get in line.

There are all the property owners that were unable to evict tenants for not paying rent during Covid. Negating several centuries of contract law.

All the small businesses that went bust because the government illegally shut down their businesses.

All the illegal vaxx mandates persecuting people.

All the lockdowns, denying public spaces to be used by the citizens, illegal mask mandates causing damages to peoples health.

Considering the government overreach that has been inflicted on pretty much everyone, you're getting off cheap.

What I mean is that powerful people, corporations, or the gubment can fuck with you as much as they want, and they will fuck you. You can sue them in court, they can drag it out for years, sometimes decades, in an attempt to financially bleed you dry. At the end of all this, if you've managed to hang on, you will probably win, but did that change the fact that they fucked you in the first place?
