Fred is the only semi-famous Scn I ever knew. When the feces made contact with the rotary cooling device in the Operation Snow White debacle, Fred, a GO veteran, was sent off to the hinterlands to cool his heels. The phrase "unindicted co-conspirator" comes to mind.
As a new Scn in the late 80's, my father showed me an ad in the New York Times Book review. It was an ad for a book critical of Scn, and mentioned Fair Game Policy. When I had a question about it at the Mission, I was sent to Fred to get handled.
The way Fred explained it, Fair Game was as warm and fuzzy as a kitten. It simply meant that people who left Scn weren't protected by the wonderful justice system that protected all Scns.
It was another 10 years before I learned that lying is a Scn sacrament.
Fred turns up in Kima Douglas' memoirs online, showing up where Hubbard was docked in Europe, and transporting suitcases loaded down with cash to banks in Switzerland. The word "bagman" comes to mind.
Ron never took a dime from Scientology. Took a hell of a lot of
dollars though.
There's a tape I listened to when I was getting trained which is meant to show "auditor ARC" or some such. Hubbard is auditing Fred on an e-meter, asking him casual questions and fishing around for an overt to pull. They poke around for awhile, then Hubbard gets a meter read and says "That. What was that?"Fred says, "That was Millie Jones. I was thinking about Millie." (I can't remember the real woman's name.)
Then it goes something like this (paraphrased):Hubbard: "Oh, yeah, Millie. What about her?"
Hare: "Well, she was quite a gal. Really alive, ya know."
Hubbard: "Ha ha. Yes, she was. Is there something there? An overt?"
Hare:[pause] "Well...Millie is the one that brought me in, ya know. Got me in to take a Comm course." [In Paris in the 50's, if I remember correctly.]
Hubbard: "Oh?" Hare: "Yeah. I remember I was really broke at the time. Didn't have the money to pay for the course, and Millie paid for it."
Hubbard: "Okay."
Hare:[long pause] "I didn't pay her back. I sort of...you know...I kind of found a way to scam her a little bit. I never paid for my first course! That's the overt."
Hubbard:"Thank you."
So you see, boys and girls, with L. Ron Hubbard's amazing technology, you can uncover and free yourself from all the sins you've ever committed...against L. Ron Hubbard.
