Feds Foil Sovereign Citizen’s False Lien Scheme
Omaha, NE – A federal jury in Omaha, Nebraska, found Randall David Due, a 44-year-old Pelham, Georgia, man, guilty yesterday of seven counts of conspiracy to file and filing false liens against two U.S. District Court judges, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Nebraska, two Assistant U.S. Attorneys, and an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) special agent.
Due faces a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each false lien conviction, totaling 70 years. The conviction stems from his conspiracy with co-conspirator Donna Kozak, of Omaha, who was tried separately and convicted on August 1.
According to court documents, Due and Kozak initially retaliated against federal judge involved in the 2012 trial of David and Bernita Kleensang, associates of Due and Kozak who were convicted of federal tax crimes. They filed a false lien of $19 million against the judge with the Boyd County Clerk’s Office in Butte, Nebraska.
After a federal grand jury indicted Kozak for filing the false lien and committing federal tax crimes, Due and Kozak filed five $18 million false liens with the Washington County Register of Deeds Office in Blair, Nebraska, against the federal officials involved in the investigation and indictment of Kozak and additional federal officials involved in the Kleensang case.
The case was investigated by special agents of the FBI and the Tax Division prosecuted the case.
