CD2U Cigarettes direct DBESTONE After spending hundreds of $$ company took my money and never delivered the cigarettes Louisville, Kentucky

An online cigarette dealer is contesting federal search warrants that it says "decimated" the business by confiscating all inventory, supplies and bank accounts.

Chavez Inc., a Louisville, Ky.-based tobacco dealer, is asking a federal judge to unseal affidavits backing at least 20 search warrants, which were executed Dec. 8 on the company's Louisville, Stockton and Denver offices and on multiple banks where the business held accounts.

The company, run by Israel Chavez of Louisville and his ex-wife, Pam Chavez of Stockton, said the warrants, executed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives and U.S. Postal Service inspectors, effectively shut down the business.

Christie Moore, a Louisville attorney representing Chavez Inc., said the owners were "shocked and saddened" by the search and seizures.

"Chavez Inc. intends to challenge the government's unwarranted actions and hopes to once again open its doors, service its customers and provide employment to its employees," Moore said.

Moore said in court filings that federal investigators seized $4 million in tobacco products, along with the company's computers, business records, cars and bank accounts.

Moore said no indictment is expected until May or June at the earliest.

"Substantially all of the personal and business assets of Petitioners are now in the hands of the government," Moore said in the motion.

I got a letter today from the ATF. It said that he was raided dec 2009. They said they seized 3 cartons with my name on it(and many others im sure). Sent me a form with this letter that said if I want them back I must file a properity claim and yada yada. But if I dont wish to dispute the seziure than to disregard the notice. If I did dispute it I would have to fight it in federal court. So yeah they can have them Im not even gonna go trough the trouble and risk over three cartons.

So yeah plain and simple hes shut down. Im sure you all will get the same letter. But I would just ignore it and dont fight it. It didnt come wit ha tax bill so Im will leave it at that.
