If you have sat at the feet of a patriot myth monger, hanging on his every word, struggling to squeeze sense out of his preachments and absorb them into your being, pay heed to the fate of Winston Shrout. We don't know its full impact on his life, and we certainly cannot envy it. He could have avoided the fate had he not tried to "Trick" the system by embracing mythological nonsense about the US Government and our status and obligations under the law.
If you have followed a patriot myth monger, seek competent legal counsel before you get into serious trouble.
Shrout managed to get his sentencing date postponed to 2/20/2018.

ORDER by Judge Robert E. Jones Granting First 53 Unopposed Motion to Continue Jury Trial Date as to Winston Shrout (1). The 6/07/2016 Jury Trial is STRICKEN and Jury Trial is RESET for 10/11/2016 at 09:00AM before Judge Robert E. Jones in Portland Courtroom 10A. This continuance constitutes excludable delay from 6/07/2016 through 10/11/2016, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). The court specifically finds, in granting the motion, that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial because the additional time is necessary to afford defense counsel sufficient time to investigate the facts of this case, to negotiate with the government, and to prepare for pretrial motions and jury trial, if necessary. The parties are to notify the court by 9/26/2016 as to whether or not this case is expected to go to trial. (bp) (Entered: 05/20/2016)

It's highly doubtful he'll get substantial prison time (unfortunately). His primary crime, the fictitious obligations, Title 18 Section 514 charge, carries a guideline score of 7. Under federal law, his multiple counts will be grouped because they represent a course of conduct or pattern of behavior or other common scheme (i.e. making false financial instruments). There will likely be little enhancement because there was no actual financial harm because of it. If you look at the US sentencing guidelines for that score, the recommendation is 0-6 months in prison. His tax crimes will also be grouped. Because that is likely deemed a separate issue, they'll add 2 points enhancement to his sentencing score. That leaves him with an overall score of 9... The recommendation is 4-10 months in prison. He can't be sentenced to probation in lieu of incarceration because he's convicted of a class B felony. I'd expect around a year in jail. There may be other upward departures that I am missing. Hope you can clarify.
Thanks for the informative blog. I have successfully represented individual and commercial clients in foreclosure proceedings for over twenty-five years.

Interestingly, he has postponed sentencing 4 or 5 times. This cannot be standard procedure.
Sentencing rescheduled for 20 Feb 2018
