Garland actually just put him in checkmate.

Here's the thing, Samuel. You work under the assumption that companies in GB in the 1700s operated like they do today in the USA. That's wrong. To put it simply, you are a subject of the British Empire, and the EITC is subsidized and therefore owned by us as well. You will comply to our wishes, else it's treason. And Parliament is reaping the fields, we're taking our company back.
