Question...do sealed cases show up for lawyers via subpoena? Asking for a family member that is inexplicably in federal prison with no real crime listed and is not a flight risk.
There are lawyers on this board that can confirm, but I believe that a Sealed Indictment is only made public when they are ready to panel a grand jury.
Maybe your relative is being held on lesser charges waiting for their turn with a grand jury court date.

doesn't the grand jury come back with the indictment? I don't believe the govt can just hand out indictments. not a lawologist so cannot confirm.
You must be right, I can't remember the order, but yes folks are innocent until proven guilty.
