These "Sovereign Citizen" groups are a menace.

15. Tennessee citizens know how to deal with them

This is a case I followed for a long time:

Utne Reader Condensed Version: Randall Beane, Air Force veteran, spent himself into Springsteen Debt territory. Trying to get out of it, he finds sovereign citizen guru Heather Ann Tucci-Jarraf online. It is known in the SC community that when you enter a Routing Transit Number for a Federal Reserve Bank and your social security number as an account number, into a bank’s online money transferring program, “money” will appear in your bank account and it is supposedly from your secret federal bank account. (When the transaction gets to the Fed it kicks out and the “money” is removed from your account.) Then they start whining about how the money was stolen from them. One of the biggest guys pushing this is Harvey Denson Jr., an unemployed man who washes cars for food money, lives in his automobile and goes by Harvey Dent online. He’s who Beane and TJ not the idea to do this from.

So...here’s the crime. USAA allows you to buy CDs via wire transfer. He tried to buy seven $1million CDs. Two went through. He immediately cashed them out, paid off his bills with part of the money and tried to buy a $500,000 motor home with some of the rest. The plan was to drive to San Antonio from Knoxville to instruct USAA that secret accounts really exist. He was arrested in the parking lot of the RV dealer as he prepared to leave. Heather was arrested at the White House as she tried to get in to teach Trump the secret accounts exist. (She was also going to teach Fearless Leader that she’d foreclosed on every government in the world on Christmas Day 2012,, but that is a story for another time.)

After a madcap trial and 2.5 hours of deliberation, Randy and Heather were found “unbelievably guilty” and will be sentenced shortly. Beane is very old and will probably die in prison.

Worse: Heather is a Gonzaga Law graduate and was once an attorney. I figure she had to have been at Zip’s on Division dining on Bulldog Burgers -the official fare of Gonzaga students - the day they taught law in law school. No one is really this stupid, but Heather gave it the old college try.
