A Liar, Not a Failure

-


Netflix has a new four part on Bernie Madoff. Episode one is titled “A Liar, Not a Failure.”

Watch Here: Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street

Quick analysis: Bernie Madoff represents all Americans after WWII. The period between 1913 & 1945 was so traumatic, people just wanted peace, even if that peace was secured with deception.

Bernie Madoff suffered losses on the stock market early in his career and covered over those loses with a loan from a family member. This made Bernie Madoff appear successful when he wasn’t. The ethos of Bernie Madoff after that even could be summarized this way:

“I can live with myself as a liar. I can’t live with myself as a failure.”

This documentary is good to watch because the warnings against unjust gain are so universal and so straightforward. Proverbs and scripture written thousands of years ago still provide a succinct commentary on the rise and fall of Bernie Madoff. 

Leviticus 19:11

Do not steal. “’Do not lie. “’Do not deceive one another.


Galatians 6:7

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 


Proverbs 1:19

So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence;

It takes away the life of its possessors.


Proverbs 16:8

Better is a little with righteousness

Than great income with injustice


Proverbs 21:6

The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue

Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.


Proverbs 22:16

He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself

Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty


Jeremiah 17:11

“As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,

So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly;

In the midst of his days it will forsake him,

And in the end he will be a fool.”


Jeremiah 22:13

“Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness

And his upper rooms without justice,

Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay

And does not give him his wages,


Ezekiel 22:13

“Behold, then, I smite My hand at your dishonest gain which you have acquired and at the bloodshed which is among you.


Proverbs 13:22

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.


Watch Here: Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street

Bernie Madoff used to be the most coveted and desired investment fund manager on Wall Street. Now he is a punchline in political quips. God is not mocked.

Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. (2025) Affirmative Opinion in the Voice of Justice Alito

  Supreme Court of the United States Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. Opinion of the Court by the voice of Justice Alito Delivered January 14, 2025 Today, this Court renders a decision of profound constitutional and societal importance. At issue is whether the foreclosure proceedings initiated by Alliant Credit Union against Mr. Zachary Moore—based on a mortgage loan derived from fiat currency—violated his constitutional rights under the Fifth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Amendments. This case also raises broader questions about the legality of a monetary system that facilitates perpetual debt cycles through fiat currency and usury. After careful consideration, we hold that the foreclosure proceedings, as applied to Mr. Moore, constitute an unconstitutional deprivation of his rights to property and due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Further, we find that the systemic exploitation inherent in the fiat currency system and its application to the facts of...

Citing RICO Violations to stop unlawful debt collections

Who is Zach Moore? and what to know about my movement If you’re reading this, take it as a call to prepare—for yourself, your family, and the world around you. At the heart of my movement is a simple but powerful truth:  any contract secured with a lie, or a claim not backed by anything real (like the U.S. dollar and debt), cannot be enforced.  Moreover, those who attempt to collect on these fraudulent contracts are committing crimes and are liable to RICO charges for perpetuating a system built on deception. I’m Zachary Moore, and I’m leading a movement to destroy the U.S. dollar, bankrupt billionaires, and end the tyranny of usury. I grew up in a trailer in Alabama, surrounded by the poverty and oppression that debt creates. I worked my way out, earning $550,000 a year as a top sales consultant, but in 2023, I realized I was part of the problem—a system built on lies, fiat currency, and the exploitation of human labor. So, I walked away. I quit my lucrative job, defaulted on...

Response to Alliant Credit Union

-
  Re: Loan Number XXXX To whom it may concern, My name is Zachary Moore, owner of the property at [address redacted]. I received a letter in the mail from Alliant Credit Union dated December 15, 2023 citing information regarding a mortgage contract between myself and Alliant. I am challenging the validity of this contract.  As you know, in order for a contract to be valid, both parties must put up valid property for consideration. Without consideration, no contract can be lawfully valid.  This property must be rightfully owned by each party.  In the case of Alliant, the money loaned would need to be an asset on Alliant’s balance sheet prior to closing. As the loanee, I put up my own property for valid consideration. I put up a promissory note representing my ownership of my work and labor, a down payment of nearly $100,000, and title to the property at [address redacted] What property did Alliant put up? Please provide evidence that Alliant provided me, the loaner wi...
