Story:

A federal grand jury has returned a new indictment against Hillsboro
resident Winston Shrout, accusing him of defrauding U.S. financial
institutions by issuing bogus documents and failing to file six years of
income tax returns.

The grand jury returned an indictment charging Shrout with 13 counts of
making, presenting and transmitting fictitious financial instruments and
six counts of willfully failing to file income tax returns.
He’s accused of making and issuing more than 300 fake “International
Bills of Exchange” on his own behalf and for credit to third parties.
The government contends Shrout falsely claimed the bills had value and
purported them to be worth more than $100 trillion.

The indictment also alleges Shrout promoted and marketed the fake
financial documents to pay off debts.

He’s also accused of failing to file income tax returns from 2009
through 2014 after receiving income for presentations at seminars and
licensing fees for the sale of DVD recordings and private client
consultations through his business Winston Shrout Solutions in Commerce.
By 2014, Shrout received gross income of more than $21,500, according to
the indictment.

“Winston Shrout is one of the biggest sovereign citizen gurus of the
last decade. This is a big deal, ” said Mark Pitcavage, senior research
fellow with Anti-Defamation League center on extremism, in Ohio.

Anti-government sovereign citizens claim that paper money is
unconstitutional, with gold and silver the only lawful forms of
currency, so they find it easy to rationalize creating their own forms
of paper money, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

“This is a very longstanding tactic in the sovereign citizen movement,”
Pitcavage said. “They love to use bogus financial instruments. Some use
bogus checks. Some look like money orders. They use these to pay off the
IRS or other debtors.”

Shrout was previously indicted in December on charges of failure to file
tax returns. On that indictment, he told the court in February that he
didn’t want to be represented by a court-appointed attorney, and a judge
allowed him to represent himself but named an assistant federal public
defender to advise him. The court entered a not guilty plea on his
behalf, according to court records.

Shrout was scheduled to return to court on this new indictment March 31.
If convicted, Shrout faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison on
each count of making, presenting and transmitting fake financial
documents and one year for each count of failure to file income tax returns.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Carolline D. Ciraolo of the U.S.
Justice Department’s Tax Division announced the new indictment in a
prepared release.

There is no statute or law that makes it a crime for "willful failure to file".Winston must have been trying to use an SSN for the discharge of debt. I hope he understands the limited jurisdiction and how not to be conned into it. We shall see.

opinions...aren't they nice, courts give them, everyone has one.
As long as our opinion is no like yelling fire in a crowd and causing harm, we can express them. So no harm here, only opinions.

The only way Winston can be convicted of tax evasion is if
he 'knew' he had a duty to file and he refused to file.

There is a fine line in believing or knowing they have a duty to file taxes, that's usually one of the first things they try to get someone to admit, that you filed before, so you must have believed you are supposed to file, so why didn't you file now, why are you avoiding filing, and they play with words to try to make it seem like you knew you had the duty and didn't do as you were obligated to do.

As for as the other stuff, this us v real man is nonsense, all the rest of those bozo's are witnesses.
If he answers, or accepts their papers, they will assume personal jurisdiction, their stupid code is really stupid. It says any answer or demurrer can be presumed to be an appearance for the case, and that gives them personal jurisdiction.
I call B.S., but their convoluted sh[i] does say that in their own court rules.

He should read that stuff to see what they have planned.
Now there is a way to make an 'informal' appearance, and not lose personal jurisdiction, but that's probably by way of a federal complaint for some reason that makes the federal send the complaint to them for coming after him...by then, he hasn't appeared, and they have notice of what he's refusing from them

He could put a counterclaim that all the real parties are not added to the suit, and learn some of the other defenses to a suit.
voidjudgments.com has some reasons courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, but that means holding on to personal jurisdiction while letting them know all this hearsay is not going to work and those that will talk from first hand knowledge he'll have to figure out what they heck they have to say.
If he's got a driver's license, they will presume he's a person and subject to their codes, it is easier to deal with them while on the outside. On the inside, if they decide that he's a flight risk and grab him well there's limited paper and pen and ink, and then there is the phone calls to get what he needs. Easier to deal with this while he's out here.

I know he has what he needs to passes his test.
Shine Winston shine.

Well first of all we have all been duped into paying federal income tax for decades-if you research you will find there illegal except for dc and the 68 square miles around it. As for the debt of 19 trillion that is also DC's debt aka United States Inc. We the people do not owe that debt and never did. And drivers license is not required for anyone traveling only people performing commercial business-research people we have been lied to on almost everything we have been brought up to believe and soon you will all know this - the truth is coming like a train out of control - we are getting our country back with new money gold backed and a new treasury - federal reserve is closed and soon we will pay no more federal tax only a 14% sales tax on new items - believe what you want to believe but this will be one of the best fourth of july's this country has ever had - WATCH!!!
