    I was wondering how the fuck they pulled this off. Sounds like an issue with Toyota not waiting for funds to clear before sending out titles.

    Is this why other sovcits post about writing checks from closed accounts? Is it really just “do check fraud” wrapped up in nonsensical legal mumbo-jumbo that they just follow thinking it makes them look smart?

      There’s very little checks on this.

      Last used car I bought the DMV asked me if I had a lien, and I said no because I didn’t know that was the same thing as a loan.

      So I got the title mailed to me and the bank and the dealer shit themselves.

      I wasn’t trying to pull a scam, it’s just that physical possession of a title doesn’t really mean anything. So no one really checks anything.

      But yeah, if you see them talking about “coupons” or closed accounts, they’re just using fraudulent checks under the misguided assumption that if no one stops them immediately it’s legal.

      Because it “works” in the moment they don’t care. It might take a year for a court case and repossession to go thru, and in the meantime they’re posting to social media about how it works and everyone should do it.

      The penalty for passing bad cheques is more than enough to solve the problem in the long term. So the company doesn’t really need to worry. Having a title isn’t a legally binding thing in the real world, it’s just one of the SovCit spell components for this particular way to permanently ruin their life for someone else’s profit.

      They are sold these “spells” that if they follow all the instructions exactly, they are magically immune to the consequences of their choices. The spells never work, but it’s only because each individual practitioner must have messed up one of the steps. So the person that sold the spell “wasn’t wrong and everyone else should buy it too”.

      Kind of reminds me of those mobile game ads where they show someone being real bad at playing the game, to try to trigger the need to “show them how it’s really done”.

        If the sovcit has a clear title that can just sell the car tho.

          Not legally, it would just stack even more fraud on top and their eventual consequences will just be that much worse.
