    It’s crazy, they really think legalese is akin to magic spells. If they just say the right words they can get whatever they want. How do they not have the thought process, “if this worked, everyone would be doing it”?

      SovCits have Facebook pages full of other SovCits saying it works. They’re lying of course, either because they’re selling something or for the attention and praise of their peers, but they constantly hear that this works for others.

      Or even, “if this worked, how come no one telling me about it has shown me that it’s worked for them?”

    The list of potential charges is staggering. Those are basically all of the non-violent charges that will come with heavy prison times including mail fraud. That one is especially nasty.

      They’re obviously just trying to scare him into shutting up. It won’t work because these idiots don’t think the law actually applies to them, but it’s a good effort.

      But in general that’s what happens in court cases, you seek the maximum amount of damages knowing full well that many of the charges won’t stick. I’m pretty sure mail fraud isn’t even realistic here, because what fraud is being committed? The guys just been annoying.

    He doesn’t know what affidavit means.

    You cannot create an affidavit and then not submit it to a court, otherwise it’s just a piece of paper. What gives it legal weight is the consequences the court imposes on you for falsehoods. Without those consequences there’s no reason that it would have any legal weight behind it.

    So will they are doing is asking for a letter to prove they owe money, which they actually have already got.
