Did you see a public open auction to obtain the best possible price and allow all interested parties to participate in the acquisition?

The answer to both is no.

Did you see any stated authority for the above actions? You know the action whereby a branch of the federal government or a quasi-government corporation seizes property and sells it the same day to another private entity without notice...ahhhhh, by what decree?

And what is to prevent said government from seizing my stuff and selling it the same day to someone else? Nothing. It is called RICO and is practiced daily by the people with the guns and the will to use them and sleep well at night.
