Well, this year, as has happened for too many years to remember, the initiative to pass some harsher penalties into law concerning the unauthorized practice of law died at the legislature. As often happens, we got within spitting distance of the finish line when the thing ran out of time and steam. Meanwhile, the scammers keep at it.
The two notorious “sovereign citizens” who sent me a $2 million bill for trying to shut them down were recently arrested for larceny and other charges for taking money from naïve and unsophisticated citizens who were in foreclosure. They convinced them to buy into the “secret fund” scam which posits that the government has stolen their identities, and if they only would file the rights papers, they would be richly compensated for the insult. (I am not making this up.)
