What debt? What, constitutional, money was borrowed? To whom would said debt be owed?

your phrase could also be applied to the student loan guy.

what constitutional money did he borrow? none, because he didn't borrow anything of actual backed value, then what debt did he really owe?

In the end, Aker went to court and was released. As far as we know, he did not spend any time in jail. Aker claims he was never notified about the order and that could very well be true. His address listed on the complaint is different than the only listing for a "Winford P. Aker" Yahoo Finance found in the Houston area. His court summons may have been sent to an old address (efforts to reach Aker were unsuccessful). However, the U.S. Marshals Service maintains they made every effort to track him down, "including searching at numerous known addresses."

It’s not clear why it took the Marshals more than three years to track him down, but the fact is he was arrested for failure to appear in court — not for his unpaid debt alone.

Jan Kruse, spokeswoman for the National Consumer Law Center, says cases like Aker's are not uncommon. If you ignore your student loan bills long enough, your loan servicer can sue you in civil court, which is what happened to Aker.

I would never trust the U.S. Marshals Service to tell the truth. I know a guy that the Marshals claimed that the guy fled justice, they searched high and low for the guy. He lived at the address on the alleged warrant. He renewed his driver's license twice. Renewed his CPA license and Brokers license in the seven years they claimed he left the country. The attorney did discovery and no physical warrant existed. Just some computer entry claiming a warrant was issued.

The Marshals looked for the guy? No, not really. But, the Marshals were not going to pass-up a chance to play ninjas.....
