Some observations:
  1. the .eth handle - raised a big alarm
  2. never talk to cops, he did exactly opposite
  3. even then, interpretation of the law is not a law anymore
  4. even then, ask a simple question in an affidavit: please provide the document when me, as a living man, I agreed and signed that paper that gives you (cops/judge) any authority over me. Rebut the authority/jurisdiction using a simple affidavit Once you rebut the authority they have nothing against you. You are OUT.
  5. The story sounds to me as fabricated (even with gov help) to scare noobs and in special bitcoiners.
Watch out for these tactics!
Guys, if you don't know how to defend yourself (not with fucking lawyers) you will ALWAYS pay the consequences, because you will always be in THEIR game.
