FreeKentHovind.com is reporting that Mr. Hovind was moved to an isolation cell yesterday (7 by 9 cell shared by 2 people) in Santa Rosa County Jail. He has to sleep on the floor and he no longer has phone access (he granted several interviews to the alternative media by phone last week). Supporters are asking people to call the jail (850)983-1100 and ask why he is in isolation and if he can be moved out of isolation into a dorm with phone access. - See more at: http://healthimpactnews.com/2015/should-creation-teacher-spend-the-rest-of-his-life-in-

This clown is not in jail for teaching creationism. He’s in jail for mail fraud, tax fraud and various other crimes.

In a high profile tax case involving the IRS eight years ago, he was convicted and sent to prison in what many believed to be a “tax evasion” conviction. However, Mr. Hovind and his wife, who also served time in prison, were never actually convicted of tax evasion. The primary charge they were convicted on was an IRS law called “structuring.” This law prohibiting “structuring” was allegedly designed to catch people involved in drug trafficking, and who were withdrawing more than $10,000.00 in cash from their bank account. The law requires that the bank file a report with the government on anyone withdrawing more than $10,000.00 in cash from their own bank account.

Yeah. Sounds like a real threat.

Should’nt Al Sharpton and many of the left wing politicians be in jail for the very exact same crime? Of course they should, but they are democrats who walk and now the system is collapsing and it is all very, very sad and evil.

Yes, because we should believe EVERYTHING that the lying felonious, incompetent, malicious scum in the IRS tell us.

John Koskinen in jail yet?

It sounds like an excessive sentence, however spurious a lot of the arguments are.

Look up "anarcho-tyranny" and "Managerial State" on Wikipedia.

You'll begin to understand what's going on.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Al Sharpton has evaded Taxes for more that 1 million dollars and he has complete access to the White House. Sounds like this is a racist case. Or is it because he’s a Christian? I mean, it’s not like Al is a Christians, because he doesn’t act like one. So why is this guy in jail and Al Sharpton is the presidents best friend?

Looking at his Wikipedia, sound like he was living off cash from his business without reporting it as income, all the while owing back taxes and not paying them.

Sounds like he is a bit of a kook, but the IRS and Federal prosecutors are completely corrupt.

Hard to know ...

In this day and age....anyone who spends more than about ten minutes in jail unjustified, should contact the local law school and get a student at the law 101 level. Give him/her the golden opportunity to pay their way through school by filing lawsuits galore on your behalf.

Good grief, criminals, meth dealers, accused rapists, illegal aliens, fraudulent voters, whoever...walk the streets everyday and unless they are CONVICTED of something, that's the way we do it here...

” his ministry, Creation Science Evangelism, create a theme park called Dinosaur Adventureland.

“CSE and the park were the focus of Kent’s tax problems which earned him a long sentence in federal prison. He considered the ministry to be tax exempt and had taken a vow of poverty. He considered the people who worked there to be missionaries and paid them in cash without filing payroll tax returns. In his criminal prosecution, the greatest number of counts was for something called “structuring” – systematically keeping cash deposits and withdrawals below $10,000 to avoid currency reporting requirements.”

“Since the IRS could not tell whose money was whose, and the Hovinds apparently did not file at all, they were whipsawed – each being taxed on the whole amount. “

“Hovind now faces mail fraud charges in connection with the lis pendens filing on the real estate that the government had seized. “
