This one seems to exceed some threshold for me. The ones that try to buy cars with nonexistent money are bad, but sort of pass as misguided. But this seems like premeditated theft. He went to a rental agency, intending to keep it.

Bro, he had all the right forms. And recorded trust. Why couldn’t they just let him steal it? Some things just don’t make sense.

I’m kind of shocked he had a valid drivers license that allowed him to rent it in the first place

Just the natural progression. Enterprise should seek their funding from the back taxes the Corporation of the United States owes him.

That is wild! The craziest part is that he was able to convince a court that he had a right to live in the hotel for free indefinitely. If he hadn’t tried to pull the “I own this now” shit, he could have lived rent free in Manhattan forever from the sounds of things.

This nutjob actually found a real loophole and exploited it, then shot himself in the foot by getting greedy. I assume he’s been evicted at this point.

What the actual fuck. He successfully got the room for indefinite time, because he used a loophole, and the court agreed? Insane.

They believe that the government opens a secret trust in your name when you are born worth 2 million dollars, that you can charge your debt to through magical paperwork.

I’m confused. These people want nothing to do with government because they didn’t consent to being born under its authority, right? And they want to tap into money that daddy government allegedly set aside for them?

On the other hand, I’m wondering if maybe all of this might be out of desperation in the broken debt system of the us? Or maybe they just want to cheat a system that they don’t respect…

the government keeps it, silly! And does nothing with it. They just love to put seven billion dollars in three million accounts every year for no reason, and the clerks filing the ~8000 forms a day love their jobs…

What the fuck has been happening with these people? They used to just be weirdos that thought they could drive (travel) without a licence and didn’t think they had to comply with a bunch of laws, but mostly administrative stuff. When did they morph into a group that’s all about stealing stuff with magic paperwork?

I used to see them as a bunch of goofs that were mostly harmless, aside from things like driving without insurance. Now they’re just a bunch of thieves trying to get over on anyone and everyone.

It’s not stealing, it’s using “cheat codes”

They believe that life has cheat codes that only they know about.

Or some other middleeastern ppl in the magic land of of 'Srael knows about it, and the sov city ppl have figured it out and wants to be rich as well.

Or “I’m smart but not rich. How come they over the are rich but dumb? Makes no sense. Except CHEAT CODES”

They have honestly never been harmless. Sovcits are a movement borne out of white supremacists and have become a favourite of black extremist groups too. They can be quite violent.

Guys, I’ve sent a 1099a with ALL CAPS signed name at 45° angle to slow down the rotation of the earth so that I get longer nights for longer sleeps. But they just ghosted my corporate self. Any immediate remedy suggestions?

Oh you have to start screenshotting that.

I used to have a lot of fun with scam callers with a character named “Heinrich Licksumweiner” who insisted on being called “Heinie” a character simultaneously horribly offensive to both gay people and germans but it turns out that a lot of the Indian scam callers are SUPER homophobic.

Does that mean I can “buy” all of a sovcit 's belongings with fake money too? Supposing there is anything in their belongings that isn’t stolen property, that is.

No, you can “borrow” them and when you don’t give it back, just ask to put it on your tab as a representative of Uncle Sam. Or something like that.

Why even buy them. Just take them and claim they are your legal salvage and if they want they can write an appeal to the Moorish naval courts.
