To my understanding pleading the 5th in response to a court order for your passphrase would work, correct? Or would you be liable under contempt of court?
It should work, though I don't believe it's ever been tested in court. I've been looking at the court forcing one to take immunity and can't find anything that would support such actions. So if you haven't told the court you will cooperate *and* you say nothing more than that you're taking the 5th there shouldn't be much they can do except charge you as an accomplice and hope for a conviction on other material. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
