I too, was wondering how this rogue business survived finacially, if it does not recognized U.S. currency within the U.S. territory. Especially in a recession. Obviously, this is a white collar crime disguised as a "sovereign" ploy. Leslie good point.

It's an idiot trap, really, and I'm not sure how anyone falls for it. Do they put pin-ups next to the pricing information or something?

Other than adhering to a few of these nonsensical theories, they're pretty much sane and responsible. The trouble is, people who go whole hog for these ideas either wind up being a threat to public safety, or else find themselves in deep trouble, like the guy in this story. What IS it about Americans and an inability to think critically?? I’ve run into a few people who flirt with “sovereign” ideas.
