Oregon militant: embezzlement, theft and 3 bankruptcies

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/patriot-leader-who-backed-ore-militants-files-third-bankruptcy-since-2001-and-still-owes-child-support/

Brandon Curtiss, the founder of III% Idaho — a militia movement whose credo is “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes mandatory” — filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection just three weeks after he helped provide armed patrols at the Bundy-led occupation of the Malheur bird sanctuary.

...

According to the Idaho Statesman, Curtiss and his wife listed debts of $235,000, and assets of only $13,230.

...

Curtiss also filed bankruptcy in 2009 listing debts of $140,000 and before that in 2001, with those numbers no longer available.

...

Some of the former Idaho cop’s assets are protected since they are listed under his property management firm, but there is trouble there too, with clients suing him for collecting rent from tenants and then keeping the money.

...

Six months later, Curtiss failed to remit any money — with the couple finally getting a portion — only to have Curtiss continued to collect rent after they fired him.

...

The militia member and his wife listed the $20,000 debt from that lawsuit in the hopes of having it discharged in their latest bankruptcy.

These people should totally be allowed to do with public land whatever they please.

He was head of "Vermont Veterans for Trump". He might still be -you don't hear any thing about that anymore.
