28 U.S.C. sec. 3002(15)(A) defines "United States" to mean "a Federal corporation" (for the purposes of federal debt collection).
The definition is meant obviously to indicate the term "United States" also encompasses corporations created by the federal government, i.e., FDIC, CPB, etc. Yet in tin-foil land, this is cited as proof that the federal government secretly incorporated itself (yet published this secret in the U.S. Code?).
Is there any succinct source explaining all this?
Thanks.
"Federal corporation"?

Re: "Federal corporation"?
Not quite, weazie. Here's the complete subsection:
(15) “United States” means—
(A) a Federal corporation;
(B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or
(C) an instrumentality of the United States.
In other words, a "Federal corporation" is just one of three classes of entities which comes within the definition of "United States" for the purposes of debt collection. I would guess that the FDIC would be one example.
