The man suspected of beheading his father and posting a video showing the severed head during a political tirade filed a bold $10 million lawsuit against the U.S. government in 2020 .
Justin Mohn, 32, claimed in his lawsuit that the government misled him and his parents about the risks associated with his student loans because he would not be able to find a job as an “overeducated white male.”
Mohn was taken into custody in Pennsylvania on Tuesday evening, hours after his father, Michael Mohn, 68, was found headless in his home in a quiet Philadelphia suburb. The suspect is charged with murder and abuse of a corpse.
According to his lawsuit filed in Colorado, Mohn took out student loans in 2010 that helped finance his education at Penn State. He graduated in 2014 with a degree in Agribusiness Management.
Mohn claims: “The Department of Education encourages high school students to attend college but fails to advise white male students of the risks of a college education financed by student loans,” he writes in the lawsuit.

In his bizarre lawsuit, Mohn said he couldn't get a job or save money because of “affirmative action.”
Mohn goes on to say that because of “affirmative action,” he was unable to find a job, which resulted in him being forced to go back to his parents. According to police in Pennsylvania, the suspect was living at home at the time of his father's murder.
The suspect said he began paying off $80 a month in loans six months after graduating in 2014. A year later, he moved to Colorado, where he worked for a credit union.
He says in the lawsuit that the obligation to repay the $80 caused him “detriment to his quality of life.”
In October 2016, he began working at another job for a higher salary, but was fired from that position at an undisclosed date. This resulted in a “snowball effect” of debt.
He goes on to say that his $12,000 in debt had a negative impact on his credit score.
In 2020, Mohn self-published a book about a man who moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, titled “The Second Messiah: King of Earth.”
The main character “slowly and painfully learns Colorado's dark secret, which involves a widespread satanic cult, the Democratic Party, and the Cold War.” “Eventually, Buster receives more attention than he thought possible for an artist, but doesn't stop there the way a normal celebrity does it – like a religious icon.”
Mohn says the book is “loosely” based on his life in Colorado.

In the 2022 lawsuit, Mohn says this is the third time he has tried to sue the U.S. Department of Education and Secretary Miguel Cardona.
Mohn accuses Cardona of not informing him about the “risks and suitability of student loans for higher education.” constitutes fraud during its loan application/lending process.'
The lawsuit was legally dismissed, meaning the lawsuit cannot be brought again.
After failing to find a job, Mohn seemed to want to pursue a career as a musician and author.
On his YouTube page he writes: “Justin Mohn released his first album, 'The Story Of Humanity', in September 2017. His second album, 'Colofunkinrado', was released in September 2018. His musical style is a mixture of rock, funk and hip-hop, using piano and organ as the main instruments along with explicit lyrics, drums, synthesizer bass and other synthesizer instruments .
Mohn also wrote poems and conspiracy-filled manifestos.
One of his books was titled: “Poems I Wrote While Stoned: A Collection Of Poems.”
Another, “The Punishing,” is set in 2481, when Satan rules the world.
“After rejecting their Messiah and straying from the Word of God, humanity falls completely under the control of Satan and his minions – a race of artificially altered humans who no longer call themselves Homo Sapiens, but Homo Demonicus,” the blurb reads.
Another appeared to preview his twisted plan titled “America's Coming Bloody Revolution.”
The blurb reads: “Much like Thomas Paine's 1776 Common Sense, which inspired the American Revolution, the short, easy-to-understand pamphlet explains why another revolution in America is likely… and how it might succeed.”
