From Jan 29 to Feb 4, 2026 (batch 75, 1000 messages), participants argued that judicial discretion and appeals, not prosecution rhetoric, control the likely direction, while disputing whether CVRA and 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) still provide actionable relief. They debated 853(n)(6)(A)/(B)—pre-existing superior property rights versus bona fide purchase—and cited the 2024-08-22 freeze plus 2024-10-22 timeline under § 853(n)(2). They also disputed evidence reliability, then moved into political-control narratives. Community statements, not court findings.
