penalty paid by one perpetrating wrong [defacto court adminstrators] by known fraud or by affirmative act which, though with
(or without) fraudulent intent, may result in legal fraud on another. This is what is being done in most of the defacto fraudulent
courts in that they violate the law against the people, yet they are deemed to know the law by their very position and seats
they sit in.
