    I don’t authorize you to close the account.

    We are the bank. We don’t authorize you to bank with us.

    I don’t know what they think their next move is. It seems pretty clear to me that the bank has won. Anyway…

      That’s illegal, I signed it crosswise so you are beholden to your half but I am free of all responsibility and obligation.

    Huh. Call me provincial, but I had no idea that sovereign citizens existed outside of America. The idea of a Cypriot sovcit never occurred to me.

      In Australia I knew I guy who was a SovCit and he would do stupid things like quote the bill of rights. We’d say “what bill of rights?” Australia doesn’t have one. All his info came from the US and he just followed it with realising none of it was relevant in a different country.

        To be fair pretty much all the US sovcit stuff isn’t relevant or applicable in the US either

          True. But things like the UCC are real laws. Sovcits just hilariously misinterpret them. There is no such law in other countries. Plus sovcit stuff is based on common law. It makes even less sense in civil law jurisdictions.

        We have people in Canada who demand their first amendment rights and put Trump stickers on their trucks. These people are not the smartest.

      We have a few so-called sovereign citizens in the UK.

      And ONE actual sovereign citizen.

      We call them “autonomous” in the Netherlands, and Germany has “imperial citizens”.

      Everywhere has its own flavour of these morons thanks to the Internet. And they often literally copy the talking points, and occasionally even laws.

    Let me make sure I follow what happened here… He got a bunch of paperwork he presumably needed to sign in several places? Instead of doing that he put a postage stamp (?) on top of the pile and “signed across” it?

    Am I reading that correctly?

        I’m still trying to wrap my head around this apparent notion that signing a stamp is supposed to have some official function lol I’m assuming it’s something he dreamt after a particularly large meal

          I found an article that explains the stamp thing. And it’s just as stupid as you’d expect it to be.

    I always wonder where and how these crazy sovcits are after all this time. October 2023 is quite a long time ago. Like I wonder if they’re homeless, if they ever got back on their feet after everything they do fails.

    Yes. The answer to their question is yes, it does look like a termination letter to me.
