Defiant NJ Gym Has Bank Account Wiped by Democratic Governor
Leah Barkoukis
Posted: Jan 15, 2021 8:14 AM
Atilis Gym co-owner Ian Smith has made a name for himself for standing up to New Jersey’s COVID-19 restrictions on businesses, despite Governor Phil Murphy’s repeated attempts to shut him down through citations, fines, arrests, having their business license stripped, and their doors locked and barricaded.
This week, Murphy escalated the fight.
“As of this morning, without warning, and without permission, and in the middle of litigation, Governor Murphy took it upon himself to empty our bank account entirely, to the tune of $165,000,†explained Smith on a video posted to social media.
He said it still wouldn’t stop him.
“We will continue to fight this fight because we know, based upon what is outlined in the Constitution, that when we get to the right courts and in front of a judge who respects the Constitution, we will win this case,†he continued. “And we will make sure that no governor, or no government official, will ever wield these powers ever again."
Smith then detailed the legal battles they’re fighting.

What state law allows Governor Leah Barkoukis to seize the gym's bank account? Even if it's for the fines, they are still under litigation. I searched for an answer and couldn't find it.
