So much of their script seems to have originated in a pre-internet era, where it was significantly more difficult to disprove things like "a crime requires an injured party." or "The Supreme Court just ruled..." (And why is it always 9 months ago?)

And even that statement from me makes no sense, as the internet is the predominant place that this information is being spread now. It's an outdated scheme, being spread in a modern way, but people are still buying it, literally and figuratively, so why bother updating?

At one time if you wanted to learn how not to pay taxes you had to attend a seminar at a third-rate motel out by the airport that you learned about via a mimeographed flyer you found under your car's windshield wiper. The internet has taken all the romance out of being conned by a grifter.
