A newly unsealed sovereign citizen case is that of Kartarius Dewan Johnson. According to the affidavit, in February 2020, Mr. Johnson, a resident of Alabama, allegedly attempted to fraudulently obtain real estate, a vehicle and property exceeding $4 million in value. The alleged scheme included emailing various entities and individuals a fictitious document called “Private Setoff Bond.” The FBI Special Agent involved in the case noted that this tactic is used by sovereign citizens to request federal reserve funding in an attempt to convince victims to pay the perpetrators.
Mr. Johnson first attempted to purchase a Mercedes Maybach vehicle. In order to purchase the vehicle, he brought in an “Private Setoff Bond” for nearly $200,000 to buy the vehicle.
He did something similar in an attempt to acquire property in Daphne, Alabama. When the various entities were not responding to his requests, he would email their legal representatives and employees stating that they had not responded to him and that they were in “default.”
Because this order was recently unsealed, there doesn’t seem to be much else regarding his subsequent arrest. There are multiple court documents from September 2021 in the PACER system. Someone with his exact name was denied parole in Alabama on February 17, 2021. Hoping to learn more information about Mr. Johnson in the near future.
