He’s still unhappy about being convicted of tax evasion (and yes, he certainly was guilty)
The pdf linked in the tweet is an image so no quotes, but I’ll report a few of the highlights.
And of course it includes silly Sovereign Citizen nonsenose like the idea that Hovind isn’t subject to Federal law because he doesn’t have a contract.
He’s blaming the conviction for the fact that he hasn’t had any speaking engagements this year (I hope the fact that he is a raving loon had something to do with that, but I bet it’s mostly COVID-19) and for his divorce.
Oh, and apparently withholding employee taxes is slavery so of course Hovind shouldn’t have to do that. And the employees shouldn’t have to pay tax anyway...
Sigh. Hovind’s relationship with the law is pretty much the same as his relationship with science.

Re: Taxes

Im not sure why he felt that he had to protest being taxed.
Greed is the obvious motive. He was evading taxes for years before the IRS had enough of his shenanigans and took him to court. And it seems that he’s paid almost nothing of the penalties imposed on his conviction.
