From the article:

…he interrupted U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery just before she was about impose sentence. "The key ingredient in this dilemma is to live faithfully," he said. "I believe I was going to the next level to help mankind."
He then went on to deny his status as a U.S. citizen and deny "the existence of the fictitious defendant Robert Beale."
He also denied that he received a fair trial or access to information to defend himself, and he challenged the jurisdiction of the court.
"I do not consent to incarceration, fine of supervised release," he said. "I have not committed a crime."

$$$

I think I would rather have him pay the back taxes and fines and all monetary amounts due , than for us to pay our tax dollars supporting him in prison for 11 years. At least if the Courts or Government could collect, it would go toward the Federal deficit.

Oh and by the way, he should not be able to collect any Social Security or Medicare Benefits for the rest of his life!

He will still be operating and planning something from Federal prison!

If this is the same fellow I read about a year or so about, his wife divorced him and took all of his remaining assets. Also, I believe his son was involved in his corp, as well, but did no wrongdoing and wanted nothing more to do with him after all this came to light.

He does belong in prison and for more than 11 years. I feel just fine footing the bill! I don't think they have this sort of problem in Russia or some other country that will not put up with this.

Maybe, I'm just feeling mean today

Issues

This man may meet the legal definition of sane but his actions and speech as described in the article seem to me to be those of a man suffering from mental illness. I would have preferred to see him involuntarily committed to a mental ward.

Give me a break!

He was plenty sane when he was committing the corporate crime a couple of years ago. If I was looking at 11 years in prison, I'd be talking like a crazy man in front of the judge myself.

No crying towel here.

what he's spouting is standard tax protester crap. He will be charged with all back taxes, penalties, etc. They are all delusional where they will continue to believe the crap peddled to them all the way to losing everything including their freedom. check out losthorizons.com if you want to see the lengths to which people will go once they drink the kool-aid.....

I hope he does every single day of his 11-year sentence. What about Snipes? I assume he's still free on appeal for the next 20 years, or so.

Snipes has to pay. lots. free on appeal of criminal sentence.

this guy

was on my radar screen when I was with MN Revenue. During the time I was there he had sworn out a holy war against the department and my boss's boss, Director Jerry McClure. The man is either certifiably insane, or up for an Academy Award. He provided, at least, a high level of entertainment during the time I was with the department.
