If police were required to place their religious beliefs on a public register, you will likely see a pattern--same with politicians. The said thing is most in the USA would presumed others to be Christians--even up through the end of the 90s. The reason why Christians would get a bad rap is because of so many Nimrodists, atheists or the like posing as Christians to get votes.
It is very much possible to step into and rightfully take up a claim or office in the event of a breech of trust. Believe me, if XYZ Group fiduciaries went ultra vires enough to a heinous, disdainful or obnoxious extent and injury or loss resulted, I can find many ways to step in and take up claims of the trustees. Another can "takes his office" much like Superman takes place of a missing aircraft engine on an airliner in mid-flight--for the greater good and for his own good.
Similarly, I have witnessed someone sit on a lease without paying. He said "you owe me for what you have done or failed to do and until you pay me or until the rent due offsets the amount you owe me, I'm staying". The owner of the building had fancy lawyers and millions of dollars at their disposal. But when it came right down to it, the sheriff would not come. After nosing around, one of the managers said "We can't evict him". The wouldn't even go into the unit! They were told that not only could they not evict him but that the sheriff wouldn't come.I witnessed a foreclosure on a residential estate years ago whereof the policing power showed up with 14 swat outfitted officers with automatic weaponry. The man sitting inside the house was just there playing his piano. Fear is a double edged sword. It appears the deceivers are being deceived.
I wouldn't be so fast to come to that conclusion. If an employee of ACME Steel burns your house down and kills your favorite dog and they wind up owing you $1B, I'd imagine you'd get into a position of control PDQ especially at a bankruptcy proceeding. The view you expressed might hinder you from seeing how or why the FRB could 'rule' for so long and why the trust might be extended under drawn-out bankruptcy proceedings. Government isn't immune--but even a trustee would be limited by the terms of the trust agreement (which is why they keep trying to modify the Constitution and add ridiculous laws--more money, more money, more money). Severe breeches of trust can give rise to some quite interesting arrangements.
It might be that bankruptcy itself is a breech carrying with it an implied certificate of incompetency with the 'errant' trustee presumed to be 'lost at sea' for seven years.
On another note, the consequence of severe breech of trust by the Romans and others against Jesus Christ might have a great significance.
Posterity ~= successors (not necessarily bloodline related). If those People passed away, how can one claim to be one of them unless one happens to be hundreds of years old?
