On her most popular Telegram channel she has issued "decrees" to absolve her more than 36,000 followers from bills and debts.

That has resulted in followers losing their homes, cars and possessions, according to Christine Sarteschi, a professor at Chatham University in Pittsburgh and an expert on extremism and the sovereign citizen movement - a broad collection of anti-government groups who evade taxes and make up their own fake legal systems.

Does anyone have any news reports etc of those clowns getting sentenced or losing their possessions? I deal with them on the daily and being able to show them something which demonstrates that they're being scammed would be a great help.
