Those are vulnerable people that are often in some sort of financial trouble. Sovereign Citizens provide them with a fantasy where they can just cut off their debts and take take their lives in their own hands, but as we see here, it just puts them in an even worse situation. It's fascinating to watch, but honestly also kind of sad.

It feels very predatory. They're going after vulnerable, gullible people in crappy situations and then sell them magical fake license plates, IDs etc.

I'd feel bad for them if they didn't try to use their "new powers" in bad faith so often. It's not someone who wants to be left alone by everyone, it's someone who thought they found a loophole through which they could go out, enter contracts, and then say "haha gotcha!" when it came time for them to honor their end of the deal.

I mean, there are legal loopholes out there.... https://apnews.com/article/new-yorker-hotel-fraud-free-room-loophole-6505cb6df084002401aab9f6eaecf452

but it's always the grift with these folks, maga, sovcit, they're all so eager to buy into the short cut.

Oh now that I see who owned it, I'm back to neutral on this situation. Behind the bastards did an episode on the unification church and its founder.

I guess the best case scenario might be one where they destroy each other.

Edit: Oh, I thought this reply was to my reply in the thread for that story, which is why it might seem like it's jumping into the middle of a conversation.

But yeah, they sometimes do find real loopholes, but I think they are mostly trying to do what Trump does after hearing about how he just doesn't pay his bills. But they don't understand that Trump isn't really exploiting loopholes as much as he's exploiting the different standards rich grifters are held to, as long as they don't grift other wealthy people.
