2) DM was also authorized by KH to do the necessary shopping for groceries,trips to doctors, pharmacy and bank. Trips to the bank to cash checks and to deposit into checking, or return to ES with cash. When ES's hands became too crippled with arthritis, she authorized Linda Jones to write the checks, and then ES would sign them.

Details regarding the Sovereign Citizen Movement reflect a movement that is known to take sympathy causes and use them to their benefit- financially or otherwise. see example of the financial side below:

Words, they are SO different
than WHAT you think they are.
Commerce even. It is TWO steps =
buy AND sell.
Not one, yet you add a third step
to the mix, THEN it is an improvement
if you do something to the thing,
to add VALUE =
THEN it is COMMERCE.

. The sovereign citizen movement is an extreme anti-government movement whose members believe the government has no authority over them. Although its sister movement, the militia movement, has garnered more publicity, the sovereign citizen movement is also growing, is larger than the militia movement, and engages in a much greater amount of criminal activity.
More widespread than violence is a set of tactics known as "paper terrorism," in which sovereign citizens use legal filings to harass, intimidate, and retaliate against public officials, law enforcement officers, and others.
In addition to their acts of violence, many sovereign citizens have engaged in a variety of scams and frauds, some of them raking in millions of dollars, while countless more sovereign citizens have engaged in acts of harassment, retaliation, and intimidation against public officials, law enforcement officers, and private citizens.
As is true for most types of extremist movements, the sovereign citizen movement has come to rely heavily on the Internet for propaganda, recruitment, and funds.
The internet is also useful for sovereign citizen con artists to reach gullible victims and cause unsuspecting citizens to become members with stories that reflect emotion and sympathy. Are you gullible?
Who are the "Sovereigns"?
It would be tempting to dismiss the violence that took place that day as an isolated event — an unstable father and son who exploded in a moment of vicious, unexplained fury. The truth, however, is more frightening. Jerry Kane and his young son were active participants in the sprawling subculture of "sovereign citizens" in America: hundreds of thousands of far-right extremists who believe that they — not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials — get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and who don't think they should have to pay taxes. While law enforcement officers may disagree on how to deal with or even label this extremist subculture, one thing is certain: it's trouble. The sovereign movement is growing fast, and its partisans are clogging up the courts with their indecipherable filings. When cornered, many of them lash out in rage, frustration and, in the most extreme cases, acts of deadly violence.
The FBI discusses the Sovereign Citizen Movement here [5]
“You can help,” The FBI concludes. “First, ‘be crime smart’: don’t fall for the bogus claims and scams of sovereign citizens. And second, if you have information on any suspicious activities or crimes, please contact us [6].”
