John Joseph Manuel​, also known as “John the living man” or “a sole beneficiary to this contract”or “a single entity” was sentenced to 7 years and fours months in jail for aggravated robbery and wounding with intent to injure.

He and three others broke into someone’s home, robbed and assaulted them.

In court, he tried all of the sovereign citizen things: refusing to be recognized, yelled at the judge, claiming the court had no jurisdiction over him and filing all sorts of meaningless paperwork, among other things.

Predictably he lost and will be spending some time in jail.

Guess he’ll have to learn the hard way that these tactics don’t work in any country on the planet.
