Peter Schiff#Investigation, Exoneration, and Lawsuit

Schiff was born to a middle-class Jewish family{{Cite web|last=Dougherty |first=Michael |title=Dr. Doom Runs for Senate |publisher=The American Conservative |date=October 1, 2009 |url=https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dr-doom-runs-for-senate/ |access-date=June 28, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402105738/http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/dr-doom-runs-for-senate/ |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |url-status=live}} in New Haven, Connecticut. His father, Irwin Schiff, who was the son of Jewish immigrants from Poland, served in the US Army during World War II. Schiff's parents divorced when he was young and he moved around the country with his mother and his brother, Andrew, from Connecticut to Manhattan to Florida and finally to Southern California. Peter Schiff credits his father for introducing him to the Austrian School of economic thought.{{Cite web|last=Swanson|first=Tim|title=Interview with Peter Schiff|publisher=Ludwig von Mises Institute|date=April 21, 2008|url=http://mises.org/blog/interview-peter-schiff|access-date=April 11, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626233232/https://mises.org/blog/interview-peter-schiff|archive-date=June 26, 2015|url-status=live}}

Irwin Schiff was a prominent figure in the US tax protester movement. He died in federal prison in October 2015 while he was serving a sentence of at least 13 years for tax evasion.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/25/business/antitax-advocate-receives-13-years.html|title=Anti-Tax Advocate Receives 13 Years|date=February 25, 2006|work=The New York Times|access-date=July 23, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170927000324/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/25/business/antitax-advocate-receives-13-years.html|archive-date=September 27, 2017|url-status=live}}{{Cite press release|url=http://schiffforsenate.com/?q=news/peter-schiff-announces-bid-us-senate|title=Peter Schiff Announces Bid for US Senate|date=September 17, 2009|publisher=Peter Schiff for Senate 2010|access-date=November 17, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626111724/http://schiffforsenate.com/?q=news%2Fpeter-schiff-announces-bid-us-senate|archive-date=June 26, 2015|df=mdy-all}} Peter Schiff did not share his father's radical stance and by 1980, had urged him to stop his tax protest activities which he saw as "futile resistance". He later stated that while he had come to find his father's intellectual case "compelling", he was disinclined to follow his methods and his "idealism". Schiff commented, "The problem with my father is that he's not practical. He was always going to lose".{{cite journal|title=Irwin Schiff, Fervent Opponent of Federal Income Taxes, Dies at 87|last1=Hevesi|first1=Dennis|journal=The New York Times|date=October 19, 2015|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/20/business/yourtaxes/irwin-schiff-fervent-opponent-of-federal-income-taxes-dies-at-87.html|access-date=July 4, 2022|archive-date=July 5, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705191712/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/20/business/yourtaxes/irwin-schiff-fervent-opponent-of-federal-income-taxes-dies-at-87.html|url-status=live}} On October 20, 2015, four days after the death of his father, Schiff accused the Federal Bureau of Prisons of inhumanely treating his father and not allowing the usual humanitarian release.{{cite journal|title=Tax Protester Irwin Dies in Prison at 87|author=Gattoni-Celli, Luca|journal=Tax Notes Today|date=October 2015|issue=2015 TNT 202–4}}

On June 30, 2022, the Puerto Rico Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF) announced they had suspended the operations of Schiff's Puerto Rico-based Euro Pacific International Bank, which was suspected of having facilitated money laundering and tax evasion. The Commissioner stated that it had found numerous violations of its regulations and that the bank had "not wanted to comply". Regulators liquidated the bank, and Schiff paid $300,000 in fines.{{Cite news|url=https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-money-laundering-puerto-rico-san-juan-efb421edca78f0d477c665d346658373|title=Puerto Rico suspends operations of bank amid global probe|newspaper=AP News|date=June 30, 2022|last1=Coto|first1=Dánica|access-date=December 22, 2023|archive-date=December 22, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231222175049/https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-money-laundering-puerto-rico-san-juan-efb421edca78f0d477c665d346658373|url-status=live}}{{Cite web |last1=Nick |first1=McKenzie |last2=Charlotte |first2=Grieve |last3=Tozer |first3=Joel |date=2020-10-18 |title=Westpac, mint, hundreds of Australians ensnared in global tax evasion probe |url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/westpac-mint-hundreds-of-australians-ensnared-in-global-tax-evasion-probe-20201015-p565la.html |access-date=2024-01-03 |website=The Age |language=en |archive-date=December 6, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231206235440/https://www.theage.com.au/national/westpac-mint-hundreds-of-australians-ensnared-in-global-tax-evasion-probe-20201015-p565la.html |url-status=live }}

Schiff claimed that the OCIF actions were due to allegations made by 60 Minutes Australia and The Age newspaper, saying, "There was no way those allegations were true, but once those stories broke, the bank's business imploded."{{Cite news |last=Robles |first=Frances |date=9 August 2022 |title=Peter Schiff Has a Deal With Puerto Rico to Liquidate His Euro Pacific Bank, He Says |language=en-US |website=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/09/business/euro-pacific-peter-schiff.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231229032633/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/09/business/euro-pacific-peter-schiff.html |archive-date=29 December 2023 |access-date=4 October 2022}} In 2022 Schiff filed a civil action against the Nine Network and The Age newspaper for defamation over the 60 Minutes Australia interview and subsequent Age articles.{{Cite web |last=Goldstein |first=Matthew |date=1 December 2023 |title=Australian Media Company to Pay Peter Schiff to End Defamation Suit |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/business/peter-schiff-defamation-settlement-nine.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208120430/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/business/peter-schiff-defamation-settlement-nine.html |archive-date=8 December 2023 |access-date=8 December 2023 |website=The New York Times}} Later in 2022, an Australian judge ruled that 60 Minutes had defamed Schiff but The Age had not.

By December 2023, the civil action was settled. Schiff was paid $360,000, and the respondents removed all versions of the 60 Minutes broadcast.

Schiff has stated that he lost millions of dollars due to the investigation.

In an August 2006 interview, Schiff said, "The United States is like the Titanic and I am here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship.... I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States."{{cite web |url=http://www.europac.net/press_release/expansion_continues |title=Expansion Continues – Euro Pacific Capital|work=europac.net |access-date=September 28, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202210014/http://www.europac.net/press_release/expansion_continues |archive-date=December 2, 2011 |url-status=live}} On December 31, 2006, in a telecast debate on Fox News, Schiff forecast that "what's going to happen in 2007 is that real estate prices," which had peaked in December 2005,{{Cite book|last1=Reinhart|first1=Carmen M.|author-link1=Carmen Reinhart|last2=Rogoff|first2=Kenneth S.|author-link2=Kenneth Rogoff|year=2009|title=This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly|location=New Jersey|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=978-0-691-14216-6|page=[https://archive.org/details/thistimeisdiffer00rein_0/page/160 160 (see table 10.8)]|url=https://archive.org/details/thistimeisdiffer00rein_0/page/160}} "are going to come crashing back down to Earth."

In his 2007 book Crash Proof, Schiff wrote that US economic policies were fundamentally unsound. Since then he has said many times that without a change in US government economic policy, there will be hyperinflation{{Cite book|last1=Schiff|first1=Peter D.|last2=Downes|first2=John|title=Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|year=2007|location=New Jersey|url=https://archive.org/details/crashproofhowtop00schi|isbn=978-0-470-04360-8}}{{Cite book|last=Schiff|first=Peter|title=Crash Proof 2.0|year=2009|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-0-470-47453-2|pages=316|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c_pclvjkkTwC&pg=PA316}} and that the imbalance between the number of goods the US consumed and what it produced would eventually lead to problems for the US economy. As a remedy, he favored increased personal savings and production to stimulate economic growth.Crash Proof 2.0, p. 7 Schiff cited the US's low personal savings rate as one of the causes of its transformation from the world's largest creditor nation in the 1970s to the largest debtor nation in 2000.Crash Proof 2.0, p. 76 He attributed the low savings rate to what he asserts are high inflation and artificially low interest rates set by the Federal Reserve.Crash Proof 2.0, p. 39

In 2008 and 2010 appearances on Fox News and financial news network CNBC, Schiff mentioned factors such as speculation and "the absence of lending standards"{{Cite web|last=Wallison|first=PeterJ.|url=http://www.aei.org/publications/filter.all,pubID.29047/pub_detail.asp|title=What Got Us Here?|publisher=Aei.org|date=December 9, 2008|access-date=May 1, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090418152548/http://www.aei.org/publications/filter.all,pubID.29047/pub_detail.asp|archive-date=April 18, 2009|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|author=This American Life |url=http://www.pri.org/business/giant-pool-of-money.html |title=NPR – The Giant Pool of Money |publisher=Pri.org |date=May 1, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100415153017/http://www.pri.org/business/giant-pool-of-money.html |archive-date=April 15, 2010}} as factors that had contributed to the housing crisis, which began in 2007.

On December 13, 2007, in an interview on the Bloomberg TV show "Open Exchange," Schiff added that he felt that the crisis would extend to the credit card lending industry, and he called consumer credit "a cancer on the free-market economy." Schiff said that interest rates would rise, that the dollar would "collapse," and that all classes of dollar-denominated assets would fall in value relative to non-US assets. He predicted "a huge crisis" and "the blow-up of credit card finance" in 2008, with the result that consumer credit card spending limits would be "slashed" by card issuers. He added that Americans would no longer be able to make purchases using their credit card lines. This prediction went unrealized. Referring to the housing market, Schiff went on to criticize the policy of the Bush administration to "vilify and threaten the lenders" for reckless borrowing.{{Cite web|url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5786330387747098530 |title=Peter Schiff's accurate forecast of credit card market trouble |access-date=May 14, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629083542/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5786330387747098530 |archive-date=June 29, 2011 }}

In a March 2009 speech, Schiff said that it would be impossible for the US public debt to China to be repaid unless the US dollar's value is substantially diluted through inflation. In September 2009, with gold below $1,000 per ounce, Schiff said that he foresaw gold at over $5,000 per ounce in the future, and that the stock market rally which began that year was a "rally in a bear market."{{Cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-peter-schiff-us-stock-rally-and-dollar-doomed-gold-going-to-5000-2009-9|title=Peter Schiff: U.S. Stock Rally And Dollar Doomed, Gold Going To $5,000|publisher=Business Insider, Inc.|work=Business Insider|date=September 25, 2009|access-date=March 6, 2014|author=Blodget, Henry|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141117052519/http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-peter-schiff-us-stock-rally-and-dollar-doomed-gold-going-to-5000-2009-9|archive-date=November 17, 2014|url-status=live}}

In March 2011, Schiff stated that a national sales tax should replace both personal and corporate income taxes, as he believes that the latter discourages work as opposed to a consumption tax. His second choice is a flat tax rate, which would abolish all deductions including the very popular home mortgage tax deduction, as he believes that the state should not subsidize buying homes as opposed to renting.{{Cite news|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/peter-schiff-us-should-abolish-corporate-and-personal-income-taxes-2011-3|title=Peter Schiff: The US Should Abolish Corporate And Personal Income Taxes|author=Peter Gorenstein|publisher=Business Insider|date=March 28, 2011|access-date=September 27, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130501035913/http://www.businessinsider.com/peter-schiff-us-should-abolish-corporate-and-personal-income-taxes-2011-3|archive-date=May 1, 2013|url-status=live}}

In August 2012, Schiff criticized Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity by saying that it is "too little, too late." Referring to Ryan's plan to reform Medicare, Schiff said, "Why would we want to preserve it? It's a Ponzi scheme... What we really need is real Medicare cuts today for people who are already on the system."{{Cite news|url=http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1784922130001/schiff-ryan-budget-doesnt-go-far-enough/#sp=show-clips|title=Schiff: Ryan Budget Doesn't Go Far Enough|publisher=Fox Business Network|date=August 14, 2012|access-date=September 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831170339/http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1784922130001/schiff-ryan-budget-doesnt-go-far-enough#sp=show-clips|archive-date=August 31, 2012|url-status=live}}

Schiff's views have been criticized several times by economist Paul Krugman, who defines inflation very differently from Schiff, focusing on CPI increases rather than monetary and asset price inflation. Schiff believes inflation eventually leads to increases in consumer prices after an indefinite waiting period. In October 2010, Krugman wrote, "I keep being told that Peter Schiff has been right about everything; so, how's that hyperinflation thing going?"{{Cite news|url=https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/math-models-and-mystification|title=Math, Models, and Mystification|author=Paul Krugman|work=The New York Times|date=October 4, 2010|access-date=February 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170927000246/https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/math-models-and-mystification/|archive-date=September 27, 2017|url-status=live}} In December 2011, Krugman quoted Peter Schiff's statement from December 2009: "I know inflation is going to get worse in 2010. Whether it's going to run out of control or it's going to take until 2011 or 2012, but I know we're going to have a major currency crisis coming soon. It's going to dwarf the financial crisis and it's going to send consumer prices absolutely ballistic, as well as interest rates and unemployment." Krugman noted that inflation had instead remained low and concluded that Schiff's type of economic "model is all wrong" since it predicts that a tripling of the monetary base, such as had just occurred, must lead to "dire effects on the price level."{{Cite news|url=https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/15/inflation-predictions/|title=Inflation Predictions|author=Paul Krugman|author-link=Paul Krugman|date=December 15, 2011|work=The Conscience of a Liberal|publisher=NYTimes.com|access-date=April 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424145112/http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/15/inflation-predictions/|archive-date=April 24, 2012|url-status=live}}

In January 2012, Schiff stated that a US debt crisis and high consumer price inflation had been delayed merely by government policy.{{Cite web|last=Blodget|first=Henry|title=Peter Schiff: The Debt-And-Inflation Crisis Is Taking Longer Than I Thought, But We're Still In Trouble|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/peter-schiff-debt-inflation-crisis-taking-longer-thought-170901661.html|work=Daily Ticker|date=January 3, 2012 |publisher=Yahoo Finance|access-date=September 26, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120520000051/http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/peter-schiff-debt-inflation-crisis-taking-longer-thought-170901661.html|archive-date=May 20, 2012|url-status=live}} In November 2012 and again in November 2014, Krugman repeated his criticisms of Schiff's predictions of eventual high consumer price inflation and rising interest rates in America.{{Cite news|url=https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/29/varieties-of-error|title=Varieties of Error|author=Paul Krugman|work=The New York Times|date=November 29, 2012|access-date=February 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170912184922/https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/29/varieties-of-error/|archive-date=September 12, 2017|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|url=https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/22/the-wisdom-of-peter-schiff|title=The Wisdom of Peter Schiff|author=Paul Krugman|work=The New York Times|date=November 22, 2014|access-date=February 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926191019/https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/22/the-wisdom-of-peter-schiff/|archive-date=September 26, 2017|url-status=live}}

In November 2008, Schiff said he supported the reduction of government economic regulation and was concerned that the Obama administration might instead increase such regulation.{{cite web|url=http://www.europac.net/externalframeset.asp?from=home&id=14566|title=The Reagan Counterrevolution – Euro Pacific Capital|work=europac.net|access-date=November 15, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100512102612/http://www.europac.net/externalframeset.asp?from=home&id=14566|archive-date=May 12, 2010|url-status=dead}} He said that the Great Recession provided an opportunity to transition from borrowing and spending to saving and producing. He was critical of the US government's efforts to "ease the pain" with economic stimulus packages and bailout, as he believed that replacing "legitimate savings with a printing press" would result in asset price inflation, eventual consumer price inflation, and if left unchecked potentially hyperinflation.{{Cite episode|title=5 November 2008|url=http://www.europac.net/media/PeterSchiff_11-05-2008.mp3|series=Wall Street Unspun|airdate=2008-11-05}}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{Primary source inline|date=September 2021}}

For example, in 2009, Schiff predicted a "protracted period of economic decline accompanied by rapid increases in consumer prices." Schiff's critics pointed out that although asset price inflation has been significant, consumer price inflation rates remained very low in the five years that followed despite his predictions.{{cite magazine|last =Vinik|first =Danny|title =Inflation Paranoia Will Never Die, No Matter What the Evidence Says|newspaper =The New Republic|date =November 20, 2014|url =https://newrepublic.com/article/120354/peter-schiff-my-inflation-prediction-was-correct-stats-are-lying|access-date =June 23, 2015|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150921213611/http://www.newrepublic.com/article/120354/peter-schiff-my-inflation-prediction-was-correct-stats-are-lying|archive-date =September 21, 2015|url-status =live}}

When the Fed ended the quantitative easing program in October 2014, the general opinion was the Fed would conduct multiple rate hikes in the year 2015. In contrast, Schiff predicted that the market could not withstand even a minor interest rate increase, thus the Fed announcing a higher rate would be very unlikely. However, he did open up the possibility of a few basis point rate hike but anticipated that it would have major impact on the equity market and would lead the US into recession, therefore the Fed would be forced to reverse its policy and resume the QE program.{{cite news|last =Schiff|first =Peter|title =CNBC Futures Now|date =Jul 16, 2015|url =https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_bghdJx87A/|access-date =February 27, 2016|archive-date =September 29, 2023|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20230929044235/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_bghdJx87A/|url-status =live}}{{Primary source inline|date=September 2021}}
