Diogenes Mar 2021 12:01pm, 15 Mar 2021 58,439 posts	0 Diogenes What the Strawman theory is. From Wikipedia: "Strawman theory (also called the strawman illusion) is a pseudolegal theory prevalent in various movements such as sovereign citizen, tax protester, freeman on the land, and the redemption movement. The theory holds that an individual has two personas, one of flesh and the other a separate legal personality (i.e., the "strawman"). The idea is that an individual’s debts, liabilities, taxes and legal responsibilities belong to the strawman rather than the physical individual.[1] The strawman theory is recognized in law as a scam: the FBI considers anyone promoting it a likely fraudster[2]; the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers it a frivolous argument and fines people that use the theory on their Federal tax returns.[3][4]"
