    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…

    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.

            According to the FBI, which considers this a domestic terrorist movement,

            Ahahahahaha

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

    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.

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

      And ONE actual sovereign citizen.

      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

        I did expect Australian and British sovcits, but didn’t expect Greek ones.

      The anti-vax conspiracy crowd in Britain is heavily SovCit. They seem to think the magna Carta means they can be selfish arseholes
