Nutjob high achiever

Nutjobs are nothing new. However, this guy really keeps the bar high. Jesus Christ is telling him to "take out" (!) a judge involved in his trial about not paying taxes on $5.6 million in income. He joins his own made-up court and starts issuing subpoenas .. well, frankly I can't sort it all out.

Hey, does anyone know what happened to Wesley Snipes in his tax evasion case?

Update: Actual quote:

"Are you trying to force me to present myself as a U.S. person against my will? Well that is a capital crime," Beale said. "Is the defendant a fictional corporation?"

Uh .. this guy can make $5.6 million? There are mysteries I cannot unravel.

Sounds like Mr. Beale got the order wrong in avoiding taxes via nutty religious views: found the religion first, then shelter money (see: L. Ron Hubbard).

Regarding Wesley Snipes, I don't think the prosecutors managed to get a conviction on the federal charges against him, but he was convicted on the misdemeanor charges (3, maybe?). The prosecutors are still trying to get jail time for him, but looks like it won't be in a "PMITA Federal Prison".

Just how are you supposed to run your business if employees won't follow your orders?
