On November 16, 2021, in the Northern District of Georgia, Hakim Amal Archible was sentenced on a four-count indictment for retaliation against a Federal judge or law enforcement officer, and for obstructing and impeding the due administration of the Internal Revenue laws by filing false liens. Archible was initially indicted on October 22, 2019; a jury found him guilty on all counts on July 2, 2021.

According to the court documents, on or about November 2014 and also on or about August 2015, Archible filed false liens and encumbrances in the public record of the Fayette County, Georgia, clerk’s office that contained materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statements and representations. One of the false liens filed in the name of former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen, cited him as the debtor who was responsible for a $5,000 Federal tax penalty issued to Archible for tax year 2013. Archible mailed copies of these false documents to former Commissioner Koskinen at the IRS. In December 2014 and August 2015, Archible filed additional false liens against former Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew. The liens claimed that former Secretary of the Treasury Lew was the debtor and the 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 received 105 months’ imprisonment, three years’ supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $400 special assessment fee.
