In the US the creditors get a court order authorizing seizure, which in this context means taking by force. If you punch out the deputy you'll get arrested, but otherwise they'll just come and take your stuff (assuming you have possessions worth seizing). Bank accounts are easy to seize, of course. > I may be wrong about this, but I don't think sitting this out is an > option. It would be a stupid thing to do since by actively participating you could retain assets that you would probably lose otherwise but I see no reason you'd go to prison. In any case the original question was about going to prison solely due to inability to pay a debt. That isn't going to happen here.

I meant stuff such as putting bank accounts in false names, reporting things stolen when they were not, etc. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
