I'd pay the extra money to have it towed from the dealer it's currently at, to another repair place, not owned by the same copmpany that owns the dealership that told you it ran out of oil.
Also, I wouldn't say too much to the current dealer, as they might place a comment in the computer system that would make warranty repair difficult at another dealer, if that's still available to you.
The symptoms you describe don't sound like an out of oil situation to me, but do sound like a try and maximize the repair bill ploy.

You can lose ALL of your oil in moments if you break your oil pan or lose your oil drain plug.
But you'd know.
Yeah you'd have a HUUGE trail of oil stretching back a hundred metres or so
ask how I know, LOL
Now nothing happening when you turn the key, this sounds like a classic starter issue, as in the big cables have come off or the solenoid isn't working.
But that wouldn't cause the engine to stall.
A CPS on the other hand should kill the engine, but the engine should spin over normally.
What are you doing at the dealer, this is not a good place to be unless you are under warranty....
Also engine running without oil will do a whole bunch of fun things:
It will become very loud as the tappets lose oil pressure
It will become very hot and begin to overheat
Engine power will be relatively gradually reduced until eventually the engine stalls at WOT
Usually you will have a lot of smoke coming from underhood due to "road crud" burning or boiling coolant
Also the dashboard will be going bezerk "ding dong DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG I SAID DING DONG" then start swearing in Japanese at you
LOL, The only way you have no oil is if it disappeared between when you stopped and since the dealer has had it. If you lost oil pressure on the road, you most likely wouldn't notice that, but about a minute later it would be hard to miss the sounds of the engine self destructing, seizing together and the horrible metal on metal sounds that follow. Then after you stopped the car would most likely be steaming from all the cooked collant.... So unless you are realy realy realy realy unaware I'd say they are BSing you....
I've spent the last day running this through my head and it's still not making any sense. I checked my camera again, which was running from when I left my house until about 13 minutes later when the car died. The temperature gauge didn't move at all once it was brought to operating temperature. It stayed right below half the entire time. I know I can't be crazy to believe that would have gone up while the engine seized up at 70MPH.
Basically I have that video that has the time on the cam and on my dash now showing any noise and the temperature gauge not moving, Motorist assist stopping 3-5 minutes after I was stopped, calling and logging the time, the motorist assist guy who is trained to identify reasons for a break down not even considering oil level based on the car's symptoms, phone records of calling the tow truck, records of motorist assist leaving the scene, records of when the tow truck driver arrived on the scene minutes later, and me following the tow truck to the dealer and putting the car on their lot as well as giving them the one and only key.
Based on all of that it leads me to 3 likely possibilities: #1 The dealer is flat out lying to me about the engine. #2 The dealer was changing the oil like they do on service jobs and accidentally started the vehicle without oil. #3 Someone at the dealer or the guy I dealt with there knows or is related to police in the area (the same police that illegally towed my car and call me video boy to my face) and purposely "waited until the 3:30PM mechanic got in to take a look at it", had the oil drained, then ran it until it seized.

#3 sounds like serious tinfoil hat material, but given your history, it's actually possible.
You need to move, buddy

LOL. That is what my girlfriend said too. I used to never be like that, but since the other crap has happened, I seriously can't be too sure of anything.

You would of had an oil warning light go on and stay on with the car keys in the on position
When was the last time you checked your oil ever...I am in the habit of checking my oil level every other gas stop

Anyone with a quality laser jammer can Jam To Gun (JTG) these days but only a few choosen stealth people can Jam From the Gun (JFG). Here is the list of people so stealth that they Jam From Gun:alpinestars_2002795, TSi-WRX, djrams80, RacerX, Laser-InterceptorUSA, BLINDER-GUY, category4, crazyVOLVOrob.
Happya$$ may think he is stealth but until he can Jam From Gun, and Stealthjamal can't get a punchthrough on the front of his Civic which have 9 jammers he is far from stealth
