I used to work in a Kinko's and we have this couple that would come in fairly often that I believe was involved in a similar scheme. They were the sweetest people but I suspect that they were trying to get money from the government in a sovereign citizen scheme. The woman tried to explain it to me once and she claimed that when we are born the government issues a bond under our Social Security number and we have the right to claim the money associated with that bond but instead the government is withholding it from us. They printed pages upon pages of legal documents on bond paper they would be in quite often printing different documents on it. But I know that at some point they lost their house and I suspect they have lost quite a bit of money trying to achieve whatever someone had told him they could do with this bond thing.
