They’re saying “send the bill to my secret government trust account”, since they think everyone secretly has one of those that the government opened when they were born and use for Purposes™.

If they really don't think they're stealing, then they would be transparent about their method of payment up front. I very highly doubt they would have received financing if they communicated that expectation while applying.

So it seems more like bad faith excuses than actual belief in what they're doing.

I can't speak to their intent or internal state of mind, only to what they seem to say they're trying to do.

I can say though, that I wouldn't assume consistency or rational action to be things I would expect of people who think the capitalization of their name is the difference between them and a shell corporation opened under maritime law by way of their "berth certificate".

Either way what they're doing is fraud.

I would guess that they were told by some "guru" how exactly to do it, and never questioned the magic words.
