Sovereign citizen Facebook is full of people trying to send magic paperwork to companies to pay their debt and they never understand why it doesn't work.

did she break the law because the letter was for the eyes of the CEO only

This may be my favorite thought process sovereign citizens go through.

“I don’t have to follow laws as long as I make shit up. But everyone else is required to follow the law exactly as I assume it works for normal people.”

This sounds like some weird cargo cult-esque garbage. Send magic letter = bill disappear.

Literally exactly what it is. The “coupon” they refer to is the little payment remittance slip on the bottom of bills, they think if they sign it and send it back without money that it pays their debt. It’s WILD.

Somebody go tell them that if they take a shit in the middle of city hall, they become mayor.

Please no. I work in a city hall. I don’t need that in my life. We already had a guy hit an artery while shooting up in the bathroom and spray blood everywhere, and someone plugged up one of the sinks on a Friday night and flooded the lower level over the weekend, and they had to do a cleanup because there were traces of meth all over like every city building except the PD from people smoking it in the bathrooms, and I really cannot take one more bathroom-related incident.

Did the guy survive and is he now the new mayor?

I actually don’t know and it makes me sad. He took off but if he didn’t get medical care pretty quick, I’m not sure what his odds are. We’re not too far from an ER so I hope he made it.

Sovereign citizens believe that there is a difference between JOHN Q. PUBLIC and John Q. Public. Like your name in all caps is a “corporation” that the US government controls, which has money that you can access with the right combination of magic words. It’s very cargo cult.
