On June 10, 2020, in the Northern District of Georgia, Hakim Archible was indicted for filing false liens against a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner and a former Secretary of the Treasury and for corruptly obstructing and impeding, and corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede, the due administration of Internal Revenue laws.

According to the court documents, in November 2014, Archible filed liens and encumbrances in the Fayette County, Georgia, clerk's office, when he knew these documents contained materially false statements and representations. One of the false liens was filed in the name John Koskinen, a former IRS Commissioner, which claimed Commissioner Koskinen was the debtor and responsible for a $5,000.00 Federal tax penalty issued to Archible for the 2013 tax year. In December 2014 and December 2015, Archible filed additional false liens against Jacob Lew, a former Secretary of the Treasury, which claimed Secretary Lew was the debtor and responsible party for, among other things, a "chargeback order" in the amount of $100 billion and a "registered bona fide security" in the amount of $10 billion. Archible mailed copies of these false documents to Commissioner Koskinen at the IRS.

Archible faces more than 10 years' imprisonment if convicted of all offenses.
