The 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge cost taxpayers at least $3.3 million to cover the massive police response, a week of shuttered schools and a long list of supplies ranging from food to flashlight batteries, according to an Oregonian/OregonLive analysis of public and tribal budgets.
The total will certainly grow. The amount doesn't include any figures from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which operates the 187,700-acre bird sanctuary seized Jan. 2 by armed militants.
I know Ammon owns a nice house with some acreage and I believe a business as well. That would be a nice start...
They gave their 'enemies' paid vacation.

The overall figure includes money to pay the wages of employees who couldn't go to work – for instance, $425,000 for about 120 workers at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management who stayed home while their offices were closed.

And the feds are relentless in collecting restitution. Nevada has a very generous homestead exemption, 550k, so Nevada law would protect that amount of his 'ranch', but it does not protect it from a lien, so the title will be encumbered so that he can't sell it or transfer it to his heirs until the feds take their chunk (which would probably be all of it)
Keep in mind that these are the people protecting us from government tyranny.
God help you if you need those idiots to "protect" you. Besides not being remotely in the ideological ballpark as the majority of U.S. citizens, they're stupendously incompetent.
A truly "tyrannical" government would have ended the standoff within hours.
It wouldn't have the night before they loaded up their guns to head to Malhuer a tactical team would have picked them up at middle of the night, taken to a black sight where they would have tortured, and I mean tortured until all the names and plans of every militia member was known. They would have then been loaded on a helicopter flown out over the Pacific ocean and pushed out at 500 ft... never to be seen again.
That is what tyrannical governments do.
