I can imagine the possibility that Greer is just so retarded that he thought his finances allowed for IFP status. But it would be quite strange if his statements here don't match his disclosures in the IFP application. He had money he could use for discretionary purposes when he filed his action, so my question is what he told the court about that money in his IFP application. Did he just not mention it? Did he lie and say it was bound up or spent already? Maybe he did mention it but is so retarded that his language obfuscated the reality of his assets.

I'm sure the District of Utah will be right on it.
The beauty is he probably has no idea what he filed at ECF #1. That was years ago and he doesn't keep records.
 
Everyone's getting their panties in a wad over NOTHING. It's totally not fraud, Greer had the money, yes, but he didn't want to spend it on court fees, he wanted to spend it on other things. If he had spent it on fees, he wouldn't have been able to afford that other stuff, which means he is IPF.

This is easy stuff, guys, and no amount of legal shenanigans and stalking can make it fraud.
 
I'm actually kinda surprised this isn't part of the requirement to file IPF IFP, just to avoid issues like this were someone's head canon declares they are poor or 'saving up' (for whores) therefore they can waive fees.
im sure the court thinks no one would be stupid enough to lie or that not enough people lie for it to be a requirement. its also something that could be remedied (?) with paying the fee when finances change or with charges and sanctions in russ' case.
The way courts do it now is basically fine actually or it would be. It actually makes sense to use something like an honor system that you can verify at a later date because it creates an example of how someone behaves. Easily verifiable processes are absolutely fantastic for settling disputes. But courts are stupid and lazy and often fail to use this method.

Keep in mind as well that a tax document is basically the same thing but with better record keeping and third parties making it harder, but not impossible, to lie.
 
I am no longer looking for volunteers.
The reach of the Kiwi is legendary.

How has this never occured to me? Despite it all, my brain just never picks up this sorta of Russ-thinking.
That's because you are likely not as impulsive as Russell is. He is likely trying to remember what he put down in that ECF by hashing over his living conditions at the time. Of course, he has to put it down as a blog post and submit it as "additional authority"
 
The beauty is he probably has no idea what he filed at ECF #1. That was years ago and he doesn't keep records.
The judge himself can see the records even when sealed, can't he?

Please God, let Russ have completely misremembered what he put in ECF 1, and got it all wrong today.
 
The beauty is he probably has no idea what he filed at ECF #1. That was years ago and he doesn't keep records.
I didn't think that, but you're probably spot on. He probably forgot and can't access the filing now because it's sealed to the public. He could be totally contradicting his actual filing without any idea that he's doing it. It would explain why he was quickly filing supplemental authorities when he found an old record or thought of a new argument to bolster his defense. If it's obvious, I'd think the judge would say something about it.

Greer would be better of if he just said he stands by the IFP application without anything else.
