It’s sovereign citizen crap. I don’t know about this case specifically but usually they believe that if they make up an unrecognized legal principle, like ‘debt is only valid if collected by the CEO because that’s who I did business with by buying from the company’ that everyone else is beholden to the shit they just made up, and if everyone else doesn’t play along with them then they don’t have to comply with anything. No it doesn’t make any sense, every legal argument they make is a series of assumptions built on assumptions, ignorance of legal precedent, and the reality of how laws work.
It’s made even worse by the fact that sometimes companies run into these people, go “the last one we ran into was an absolute lunatic that stressed out half our team so I’m not fucking with that again for $[x],” write it off, and now you have a bunch of sovcits telling each other that their magic incantation is the right one because it worked for them.
