70 Years Unchallenged: One Man Brings SBA Banking Fraud to Light
At Freedom Fighter 1776, we highlight those who refuse to surrender to corruption. One of the strongest examples today is Brandon Hayes, President of the Natural Law Institute, who has turned his own legal battle into a forensic record of institutional betrayal.
Brandon is facing off against Eastern Bank and the Massachusetts courts in what began as a $33,000 SBA-backed line of credit dispute. What he uncovered—and documented in painstaking detail—isn’t just banking fraud. It’s a system-wide collapse of lawful process.
The Trap: Banking Fraud as Standard Operating Procedure
In The Trap to Tribunal, Hayes shows how Eastern Bank weaponized paperwork and silence to restructure a federally backed loan into private debt, all while ignoring SBA rules (Forms 147, 148, 159, SOP 50 10 6). They then pursued foreclosure on a homestead without lawful standing.
No lawyer thought it was “winnable.” Not because the law was against him—but because the process was rigged to favor the banks.
The Collusion: Courts, Clerks, and Silence
In A Collusion of Silence, Hayes documents how the Massachusetts courts and public officials ignored his lawful federal removal under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(d)—a statute that should have stopped state proceedings immediately.
Instead:
Boston Municipal Court held hearings post-removal, acting without jurisdiction.
Clerks buried filings, throttled access, and withheld recordings—classic spoliation.
The Massachusetts AG and Mayor’s Office received notice, read the evidence, and stayed silent.
Opposing counsel kept litigating despite knowing the state had lost authority.
Every actor had a duty to intervene. Every actor chose silence. Hayes’ forensic email logs prove it.
Why It Matters
This case is historic. In 70 years of the SBA program, no one has ever brought banking-side fraud into federal court. Hayes has. And he’s doing it pro se, in the most hostile terrain possible, against entrenched institutions that expect citizens to fold.
But instead of folding, he built something more powerful: a record that indicts those entrusted with our rights, yet derelict in the duties they were charged to uphold.”
The Verdicts Are In
Hayes’ filings and forensic timeline prove beyond doubt:
The state court acted ultra vires (without authority).
Eastern Bank committed fraud by omission.
Clerks and officials engaged in constructive spoliation.
Silence from officials = complicity under color of law.
This isn’t theory. It’s recorded, timestamped, and unrebutted evidence.

Freedom Fighter 1776’s Take
Brandon Hayes has shown what happens when the rule of law is replaced by the ritual of law. Courts, banks, and officials are acting outside the law, betting that silence will shield them.
But silence isn’t protection anymore—it’s evidence. And thanks to Brandon’s record, the people now have the blueprint to expose and disarm the procedural economy.
The question is no longer whether the law was broken. The question is whether we—the people—will enforce it.
