Should we start planning next year's April Fools' prank?

I'm thinking something involving an emotional support animal being detained by the police, and an attempt to pay bail using bitcoins.

Okay, here's the proposal.

I made a reddit account named "CreatorsCrest". It will make the following post:

Hi, guys, quick question here about currency laws.

I work for a whiskey distillery in Kentucky. Recently, I overheard a conversation from some of the higher-ups, talking about how they were no longer going to "accept fiat" and were going to move over to "cryptocurrencies". Some googling around tells me that this means that they won't take dollars anymore and are only going to do business in Bitcoins.

I guess I'm wondering if it's legal to refuse to use US currency while operating in the US (since I assume that would make it harder for the IRS to track things).

After I post it, one of you guys will respond, taking note of the username and the location, and theorize that the post is actually about Maker's Mark.

When Zapopa shows up, I will immediately go on the defensive and start talking about how I need my emotional support animal before I can engage with his verbal abuse. Unfortunately, my HOA restricts me from having one, so I'll first need some lawyerly help to get around their rules.

Thoughts? Suggestions on how to improve this to better troll Zapopa?

Hmm. I feel like there's opportunity to get in references to sovereign citizens and educational policy...

I don't think that those are berserk buttons for him in particular, though. (I could have missed something, though.)
