In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday, Stern said he established a yearslong dialogue with Schoep and convinced the former leader to transfer the organization to him when Schoep said he planned to disband it. "If he dissolved the group, all anyone would have to do is take it and reincorporate it and carry on the same shenanigans as it never stopped," Stern said.
"He has that piece of paper, but he is absolutely not recognized as the leader of the National Socialist Movement," Schoep, a Detroit resident, said of Stern.
