‘Sovereign citizens’ get 10 years for duping debtors with phony federal treasury scheme

[doxydad]

Three “sovereign citizens” from South Carolina were sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for their roles in a bogus debt-elimination scheme.

James Dew, Jerry Hartsoe, and Mark Shannon were each convicted in April on eight counts of mail fraud in connection with their Eden Gifted Properties, which offered to pay clients’ debts – for a fee – using phony government documents.

A fourth man, Ronald Kevin Hayes, pleaded guilty in January to failing to report a felony to authorities. The men told victims they could to eliminate home loans and other debts if they paid Eden Gifted Properties 10 percent of the debt amount, reported The Sun News.

They encouraged customers to obtain cash advances from credit cards or raid their retirement accounts to pay the fees, which they described as “donations.”

1. All "sovereign citizens" want to get "something for nothing."

Bet a large portion of those taken in, were taken in by Jordan Maxwell, Alex Jones and the rest of the grifers, first.

That's where the lies the debtors were cheated with was propagated. That and their Ron Paul Dollar schemes.
