Johnny Liberty gone?

[Shoonra]

John David Van Hove, alias Johnny Liberty, was arrested on May 9th, pursuant to a federal indictment issued on April 7th, charging him with multiple counts of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct the administration of the revenue laws, willful failure to file tax returns, and fraud by wire. Hove was peddling a de-taxing scheme which promised to make the customer immune and invisible to the IRS, using (among other scams) phony trusts, phony offshore bank accounts, and phony foreign business corporations. Hove had made more than a quarter-million from just one of these scams, the Institute for Global Prosperity, and something close to 3/4 of a million from victims who entrusted him with their money to hide in non-existent offshore accounts which were supposed to be unreachable by the IRS and to pay astonishingly high dividends (most never saw any money, including their principle, again).

The obstruction charge could have gotten a max of 5 years prison plus 3 years parole plus a quarter-million fine. Each failure to file charge could have gotten 1 year of prison plus 1 year of parole plus a fine of a hundred thousand. Each wire fraud charge could have gotten a max of 20 years of prison, 3 years of parole, and a quarter-million fine. I do not know how many wire fraud charges there were, but evidently enough to rake in more than $700,000.

In late October, Hove pleased guilty to obstruction and wire fraud as part of a plea bargain (evidently some of the fraud charges and possibly all the failure to file charges were dropped as part of the bargain). He stays in jail until sentenced on May 6, 2006. He could face more than 20 years in prison.

Since he lived in Hawaii, operated out of Hawaii, and was arrested and tried in Hawaii, he's presently jailed in Hawaii, altho once he's sentenced to the federal prison system he might be moved elsewhere.

I live in Hawai'i, I'm blood of Hawai'i, and I've never heard of Johnny, in Hawai'i. I must be lucky....

I know nothing of the man and though my education is self wrought, I believe he must have been onto something phenomenal that he'd "cop". Failure to file rings a bell for charges, but the rest could be plausible and quite possibly true. I'd like to think we're pretty smart here. I'm just amazed! What is it to the FDC (Federal Detention Center) in Hawaii if he has been "banned" in the "states"!? If HIZZ, is NOT a state (in technicality only) but we're still considered one... to convenience, there's much more than meets the eye here. So good to not know what's going on in my backyard! I think! The statements made of Hawaii operating in Art.III Courts are only cosmetic. No one goes anywhere with that contemplation, but some that apply to Admiralty/Maritime Jurisdictions are throwing the judges, PA, and AG for some loops. Others are blind leading the blind. If, and only if I understand this correctly, those "persons" proving their lineage prior to the arrival of Capt Cook can move the courts under Art. III. The rest are stuck on (or in the middle) of the ocean. Funny that it (jurisdiction) can be changed just like the tide here...thanks for this wonderful reading. I'll keep on the story and post updates I come across. FYI, federal sentencing takes all Hawaii inmates to Oklahoma. (there's more Hawaiians there than in the islands!) Genocide....
