Feds misled judge who OK’d warrant for $86M safety deposit raid in Beverly Hills

 The FBI and US Attorney's Office misled a judge who issued a warrant for a controversial raid on a Beverly Hills safety deposit company that uncovered $86 million in cash and millions more other assets

• A senior FBI agent testified that central to the plan, and not disclosed to the judge, was the permanent confiscation of the contents of every box that contained at least $5,000 in cash or goods
• The alleged disclosure failure came out in FBI documents and agent depositions in a class-action lawsuit by box holders at U.S. Private Vaults.

The FBI and U.S. attorney's office denied that they misled the judge or ignored his conditions, according to the Times.

• FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller told the Times that the warrants were lawfully executed "based on allegations of widespread criminal wrongdoing."
• "At no time was a magistrate misled as to the probable cause used to obtain the warrants."
