What Prompted Conduct Raid Residence Overton Road Places Birmingham's

A home on Overton Road in Mountain Brook

The FBI recently conducted a raid at a home on Overton Road in Mountain Brook, AL, according to a report at WBRC. For those not familiar with the area, Mountain Brook essentially is Birmingham's version of Beverly Hills. It's not that famous people necessarily live there, but the place reeks of money -- big money, old money. Locals call it the "Tiny Kingdom," and suffice to say, it's not the kind of place you expect to see law enforcement conducting an operation. So what's going on? Information, at the moment, is scarce. But we have this from WBRC:

A home on Overton Road was raided by the FBI Wednesday, according to Mountain Brook Police.The raid was a result of an ongoing FBI investigation. Details about the investigation and the result of the raid have not been made available. According to Mountain Brook PD, there is no known threat to the public at this time.

According to a report at banbalch.com, the raid has been a hot topic of conversation in the Birmingham area:

The chattering class in the elite enclave of Mountain Brook is on fire after an FBI raid last week.

WBRC Fox 6 reported last Wednesday:

A home on Overton Road was raided by the FBI Wednesday, according to Mountain Brook Police. The raid was a result of an ongoing FBI investigation. Details about the investigation and the result of the raid have not been made available. According to Mountain Brook PD, there is no known threat to the public at this time.

Although our sources could not confirm what the raid was exactly about, the action appears to be for a white-collar crime in which no one appears to have been arrested (yet) and documents, electronic devices, and hard evidence probably were seized.

Our high-level sources could not confirm or deny if this raid was related in any way to the Matrix Meltdown or Crosswhite Scandal. The raid could be for a completely unrelated crime.

But the chattering class keeps on chattering!

Both banbalch.com and Legal Schnauzer have been reporting on a number of topics that have connections to Mountain Brook. But so far, we see no sign that the raid involved any of those stories.
