Family and friends of the Liberty Dollar of Evansville organization are learning the future of their money and their jobs.
The company was raided by the FBI earlier this month.
The US attorneys office out of North Carolina confirmed to us today they are investigating Liberty Dollar.
They cant comment on the specifics of the investigation but tonight company owner Bernard Von NotHaus is speaking.
Von NotHaus entire company including precious metals, liberty dollar bills and computers were cleaned out of his offices here in Evansville.
Von NotHaus designed the Liberty Dollar 10 years ago.
The money is backed by gold and silver kept at the company.
Von NotHaus filed suit against the u-s mint to retract a statement that claims spending or circulating his money is a crime.
NotHaus says the raid is a reaction to the suit, but is not worried about any of this.
He expects to be arrested, but not go to jail.
