Hmmm - Hoarding in Wartime I think was an illegal, if not morally condemned, activity in WWII.

I found this website about pharmecuticals and some mention of hoarding
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/Rxemerg.htm
It mentions the hoarding of drugs which could be connected to illegal activities.

I have found lots of Depression articles of people hoarding gold, and then again in the 80's doing the same thing. No real mention of the legality of the hoarding, but several references to money laundering.

I did find a site called Findlaw.com and did a search

interesting that Lawyers can be accused of Hoarding information.

The hoarding of supplies, whether food, drugs or other supplies does not seem, in my small search on the internet, be illegal by it's self, but in an indication or pointer to a real illegal activity, such as black market drug sales, money laundering and terrosrist activities.

Because of the Patriot Act, it is my opinon, that if a government offical believes you are hoarding supplies, you can be investigated for terrorist connections and activities.

puts a whole new spin on taking care of your family, doesn't it?
