‘Patriot’ leader files 3rd bankruptcy and owes child support
Because this is what being a “patriot” is all about.
Click here for reuse options!The leader of an Idaho patriot group who took time out from his property management business to provide armed support for the ill-fated Oregon occupiers has filed bankruptcy for the third time since 2001, leaving a trail of debts and clients who hired him looking for rent money collected on their behalf.
Brandon Curtiss, the founder of III% Idaho — a militia movement whose credo is “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes mandatory” — filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection just three weeks after he helped provide armed patrols at the Bundy-led occupation of the Malheur bird sanctuary.
According to the Idaho Statesman, Curtiss and his wife listed debts of $235,000, and assets of only $13,230. Court documents show the couple owe $186,286 in credit card debt, collection agency charges and bank loans accumulated 2013 and 2015, as well as previous debts including $1,800 in child support that Curtiss owes dating back to 1992.

Just doing what their leader does, it would almost be unpatriotic to not file for bankruptcy.

And do it again, and again, and again. After all, That is the Path and the Way the Lying, Infamous, Two Faced, Sen. Larry Craig got to be a U.S. Senator.

Huh, I just knew him as the “wide-stance” guy. You learn something new every day here lol.

Before he got into Idaho politics, he bankrupted on Three SBA Loans in a row. He couldn’t keep loggers during his logging business days because he kept TeePee Creeping on them at night. This man was the worst of the Worst and yet he was still a huge Success in Idaho politics.

As far as I’m concerned the banks that continue to lend to someone like him, with bankruptcies in their past, deserve to get ripped off. There’s such a thing as due diligence.
The Original Just Me March 28th, 2016 at 14:38
There is a problem with the Banks getting ripped off. We are their source of income money. More loses, More fees for services.

Then find a community bank that’s safe, or a credit union.

Wow. I didn’t know that either.
Suzanne McFly March 28th, 2016 at 20:58
Wow, glad we have dropped the bar so low that anyone willing to sell their soul can be a politician.

Yes Sir, here we have a Fine Upstanding Member of our Business community. He is an outstanding example for our Youth to follow. Only in REPUBLICAN IDAHO can such success be HONORED. He will be elevated to a seat in RED IDAHO Politics VERY SOON.

You bet! A real fine ‘murikan! And I especially like that he doesn’t pay child support. What’s more manly than screwing your kids out of food and clothing?
The Original Just Me March 28th, 2016 at 14:15
The only thing this Scum Bag could do that is worse than screwing his kids out of food, shelter, and clothes, is screwing his kids. We will have to wait and see on that one. I wouldn’t put it past on this Total Mr. Macho.

I thought it was supposed to get harder to declare bankruptcy again after doing it once. And if he’s done it twice already, why do the banks keep giving him credit cards?
Mike March 28th, 2016 at 14:35
Me too, I thought there was a time period in between…3 x in 10 years sounds a bit lax…
Hirightnow March 28th, 2016 at 14:56
See my reply to Larry; he’s within the time frame (squeaking by, anyway).
Mike March 28th, 2016 at 18:28
Thanks
I read down that link and now I’m more confused than before…:)

You can’t file Chapter 7 for 8 years, so a lot of credit card companies see that as a guarantee that you won’t file on them before they get their money back. (If you do file, you’ll start getting card offers in the mail; they do the same thing with court notices that lawyers do.

The heck with what the law says about how often you can file for bankruptcy, who would lend money to a proven dead beat?
mistlesuede March 28th, 2016 at 15:17
Maybe HSBC? They also think helping terrorists with their money is a good idea from what I remember.
Mike March 28th, 2016 at 14:30
Believes US laws represent tyranny
Uses those same laws to protect himself from creditors.
Can only be a white militia republican…
Mark Bub March 28th, 2016 at 14:38
The government can’t take your guns . . . but the banks sure can!
Just goes to show you who we should really focusing our wrath on.
StoneyCurtisll March 28th, 2016 at 15:39
And exactly what wrath would that be?
Hirightnow March 28th, 2016 at 14:58
Well, here’s one guy who definitely won’t be swayed by the “Trump has filed for bankruptcy 4 times!” argument…
Larry Schmitt March 28th, 2016 at 15:02
Give him enough time and he’ll outdo him. But tRump’s were business filings, this guy’s are personal. So there’s probably fewer limitation on tRump.

Holy cow! How does one get into such a mess?
StoneyCurtisll March 28th, 2016 at 15:38
They lie and cheat and dont pay their bills.
mistlesuede March 28th, 2016 at 15:42
Smarty pants. :)

Some scammers do this intentionally. Run up debt and then file bankruptcy. Valuable items are hidden or sold for cash.
mistlesuede March 29th, 2016 at 15:30
I see. The “mind” of these types is hard for me to understand.
StoneyCurtisll March 28th, 2016 at 15:35
Bankruptcy laws will not cover this losers back child support…

Ah, another student of the Trump model of business management
