2 years ago, @amazon accused my husband of a crime. 21 months ago, DOJ took ALL of my family’s money based on those accusations - without criminal charges. Today, we got almost all of it back. But they can’t give us the life we had back. Civil forfeiture must be abolished. /1

Also: DOJ seized the money my husband had paid lawyers after learning he was the target of a federal investigation. They literally went into the law firm’s client trust account and yanked the money. It was scorched earth. My husband was NEVER charged with any crime. /4

WE WON!!! Amazon isn't going to take its last claim to trial but instead just appeal our victory - tossing out the RICO, fraud and contract breach claims. They don't want a jury to see this. We all know that. They spent $50 million hunting us & enlisted DOJ. AND WE WON.

Me via @Entrepreneur : "The FBI had shown up at her home with guns, informed her husband that he was the target of a federal criminal investigation, and seized all their savings. Ever since then, she'd been trying to pull her life out of a death spiral." /1

When @amazon accused my husband of a crime, the only journalists who would share our story were @glennbeck and @tuckercarlson . @DOJCrimDiv just vacated 2 guilty pleas secured via Amazon's false allegations. This is almost unprecedented. What does this say about our media? /1

Wife, mother and attorney @Amy_K_Nelson tells us the story of @amazon attempting to destroy her family. Get the full @foxnation interview at "About two weeks into the pandemic, we got a knock on our door at 6:45 in the morning, and it was two FBI agents."

And what does it buy them? Well, @amazon 's biggest clients are CIA, NSA and FBI. And they've hired 100s of former prosecutors & intelligence agents. And they're cool w/ @JeffBezos & @ajassy stealing millions BUT also cool w/ hunting peasants FOR Amazon! /4

And Amazon IS a real partner to the intelligence community. In 2013, Amazon won a massive CIA contract. Now they store data for FBI, DOD, NSA, etc. Pretty terrifying. /16

Amazon told federal judges that 2 men had defrauded Amazon out of $17M by taking a piece of property under control for $98M and selling it to AMZ on the same day for $116M. Want to know something? Turns out, the guys had the land under control for many months, Amazon knew that,

865,000 women left the workforce in September. The real headline: *only 216,000 men left.* This is a crisis that will define a generation of women - and families. Women’s work isn’t a women’s issue. It’s an everyone issue. It impacts a family’s bottom line. We must do something.

In all, DOJ seized $7 million from families, investors, and companies based on Amazon’s false allegations. In March 2024, the affidavits DOJ used to seize the money will be unsealed. And that’s a massively important day. Here is why. /11

Amazon asked DOJ to seize my husband’s $$. DOJ obliged. When that was done and Amazon knew my husband had no money in any bank account - and 4 daughters under the age of 6 - Amazon sued my husband in the same district where they were working with prosecutors. /2

In Amazon’s civil lawsuit - because we could pay to fight, because we sold everything and got the seized money back and I moved away from my little girls to take a job to pay lawyers - a federal judge finally ruled my husband didn’t even break his Amazon employment contract. The

A terrible truth: As workplaces reopen and schools/daycares remain closed, women who are still majority of primary caretakers will be FURTHER disadvantaged to male colleagues. The *new normal* will be *worse* for working women. What are the solutions?

Our schools run on the agrarian calendar even though most of us don’t farm. Our workday is based on Ford’s production line even though most of us don’t work in factories. We can reinvent all of these systems at any point. What’s stopping us?

Tomorrow is my birthday. Help me put this into the world: The DOJ - having found prosecution of @amazon ’s accusations against my husband unjust - will return the remaining funds from the seizures asked for by Amazon, My sick dad & my little girls could use the money.

Prosecutors then told my husband’s lawyers that if my husband would plead guilty to Amazon’s allegations, prosecutors would give my husband back some of his money so he could feed his little girls. Otherwise, good luck. I hope the babies don’t starve. This was May 2020. /3
