Following meritless authorized threats that culminated in an improperly filed DMCA takedown discover filed in unhealthy religion, at this time we’re including Scott Huss (proper) to BehindMLM’s DMCA Wall of Disgrace.
And when you’re a fan of sovereign citizen nutjobs consuming shit, you’re going to love this one. I didn’t know the half of it…
Scott Huss has by no means actually been an individual of curiosity to BehindMLM.
We cited a social media submit from Huss final October, as proof the Mavie International Ponzi scheme was harboring needed fugitive John Barksdale.
As background analysis we famous Huss was a former iGenius promoter who. on the time, was now hanging out at Mavie International‘s places of work in Dubai. So far as Huss went, we left it there.
Huss made a second look on BehindMLM final month, this time as a part of Rodney Burton’s amusing try at avoiding HyperFund prison prices.
As per paperwork seized from Burton and exhibited by the DOJ, Huss, as Scott Lee Huss, signed witness testimony affirming Burton’s id.
Lengthy story quick; upon realizing the DOJ was onto him, Rodney Burton thought placing collectively a cache of make-believe authorized paperwork would one way or the other put him above the legislation.
Huss, a sovereign citizen nutjob himself (which we’ll get into in a bit), was a part of Burton’s “I signed some paperwork so I’m now above the legislation” fantasy.
This time we had been a bit extra thorough in our background examine, moreover tying Huss to Wealth Mills, iMarkets Stay and Past.
On August eleventh, out of the blue, I obtained the next e-mail from Scott Huss;
shall be reporting this website and want myself and all private data pertaining in the direction of Scott Huss, Huss, Scottyy, Scotty Huss, and so on. eliminated off of this web site instantly.
No permission was granted, failure to take action will end result to a federal legislation swimsuit and authorized motion filed.
My response was our boilerplate typical to most of these calls for;
Request denied.
Cause: BehindMLM doesn’t want your permission to report information.
Scott nevertheless insisted BehindMLM was required to hunt his permission to report information.
All the time comfortable to coach somebody on the legislation surrounding BehindMLM’s lawful use of mental property, I obliged;
No, it doesn’t.

Assuming Huss was now educated on BehindMLM’s rights as a writer, I completed up our trade.
Word that I think about this matter closed and gained’t be replying any additional.
Sadly Huss isn’t above abusing United States copyright legislation. On August eleventh Huss despatched in a bogus DMCA takedown discover.
As defined in BehindMLM’s DMCA coverage;
Right here at BehindMLM we take our dedication to working inside US copyright legislation critically. Third-party photos and logos are solely used to symbolize particular firms or people we publish content material about.
Earlier than submitting a DMCA take-down discover, copyright homeowners should think about whether or not Truthful Use applies to the alleged copyright infringement.
Submitting a DMCA requires a copyright proprietor to swear below penalty of perjury that the copyright proprietor is just not submitting a fraudulent take-down discover.
Failing to contemplate whether or not Truthful Use applies to the alleged copyright infringement is an abuse of the DMCA take-down course of.
Copyright holders submitting fraudulent take-down notices are responsible for damages, together with prices and attorneys’ charges, incurred by the alleged infringer.
Right here, Huss was categorically knowledgeable of BehindMLM’s protected use of third-party photos and/or logos.
Naturally, Huss’ authentic discover went nowhere. And I might have left it at that, save for the actual fact Huss then doubled down with one other bogus DMCA takedown discover through e-mail.
Alright. Aside from an unhealthy dependancy to beauty enhancements, what is that this man attempting to cover?
Again in March Huss and Cecilia Selina Mercado, aka “Sessi”, had been pulled over for visitors violations.
Police additionally famous the Audi they had been in had faux “diplomatic” plates.
Quoting a police report, Local10 stories the plate acknowledged it “was non-expiring and that Mercado was a non-citizen”. This was in fact baloney.
Footage of the incident, recorded by Huss, reveals
Mercado … behind the wheel of the automobile as her passenger is recording her interplay with the officers who requested her for her driver’s license, nevertheless she supplied them her passport as an alternative.
The officers then requested her to step out of the automobile however she refused.
Clearly not excited by entertaining sovereign citizen fantasies, police extracted Mercado from the automobile.
Whereas that’s occurring, Huss squeals about “feeling threatened” and calls for to talk to a “supervisor”.
As an officer holds onto Mercado’s arm as she stays sitting within the car, her male passenger, recognized in an incident report as Scott Huss, yells on the officer to let her go and tells two cops they’ll lose their jobs and that they must pay Mercado $250,000 after he takes them to court docket.
“They haven’t any jurisdiction over you,” he tells Mercado at one level.
“She is just not a United States citizen,” he then tells the officers.
Huss would go on to submit an edited clip of the incident on-line. This prompted a response from police, clarifying precisely what occurred:
Police mentioned Mercado later admitted to having a Florida driver’s license and didn’t reply when an officer requested her why she didn’t admit to that earlier than.
Based on her arrest report, Mercado informed officers that the automobile was registered with the U.S. Division of State.
Whereas ready for Mercado to be processed, Huss spoke with reporters exterior the police station.
Her immunity is 100% genuine. The specifics can’t be disclosed on public interview, nevertheless, the court docket case and the federal lawsuit shall be public.
Keep in mind children, printing out PDFs you discovered on-line and arising with imaginary titles is all enjoyable and video games… however by no means go full nutjob.
Mercado (proper) was given 4 citations and, upon additional examination of her faux plates, charged with “having a counterfeit registration, license plate or sticker on a motorcar.”
Given this was picked up by a number of media shops around the globe, for Huss and Mercado that is all hilariously embarrassing in and of itself.
However then it will get even higher…
Mercado was held in a single day and launched the subsequent day on bond. She and Huss ultimately left the station in one other automobile, pushed by Andres Lopez.
“Jryako” corresponds with Jay Ryako, an alias Huss began utilizing late final yr.
Because the automobile carrying Huss and Mercado drove away, Mercado took to Instagram stay.
For this reason it’s important to develop into a non-citizen nationwide, so that you don’t have to fret about paying taxes and also you get your enterprise proper.
It’s unclear whether or not Mercado and Huss are engaged in tax fraud. That’s between them and the IRS.
Whereas Mercado was livestreaming, police stopped the automobile…
The Maybach additionally had a diplomat-labeled license plate. Police stopped the automobile alongside the 300 block of Sunny Isles Boulevard.
Video posted by Solely In Dade reveals the driving force of the Maybach being arrested for allegedly driving with a faux license plate.
Lopez has been charged with driving and not using a legitimate driver’s license, having a counterfeit license plate, motorcar registration, or sticker and resisting an officer with out violence.
Mercado and her boyfriend mentioned their diplomat license plates are legit, they usually have attorneys who’re ready to take motion in opposition to the police division.
“I sit up for sharing my story in court docket and never being handled like a savage ever once more,” mentioned Mercado.
To the most effective of my information, neither Mercado or Huss have filed any authorized motion.
In the meantime, coinciding together with his bogus DMCA takedown notices, Huss is on social media touting a brand new mission.
In one other submit earlier that day, Huss shared pictures suggesting one other fraudulent Dubai buying and selling opp.
If it’s a brand new firm I’m certain it’ll pop up on my desk in some unspecified time in the future – but it surely’s not one thing I intend to trace. BehindMLM’s curiosity in Huss solely extends to future MLM sovereign citizen shenanigans, or DMCA notices filed in unhealthy religion.
This was good to comply with. Extra shenanigans please!
