Ex Scientologist Message Board
Tony has a very interesting article about how Scientology tried to dodge making a settlement payment to the 3 Cuban workers that sued the drydock for slavery and won. What Scientology did, rather than pay the $1+ mil debt to the Cubans per the court order, was to renegotiate the balance due down to $750K and then pay the drydock via another Scio corp. They did this via a shell corp they had and did so via an interest free loan.
Talk about greed and manipulation - to go to the drydock co and dangle the $750K carrot in front of them vs. paying the $1+ mil bill to the Cubans. What is interesting, is that by doing so they exposed themselves to being responsible for paying the whole $80 mil awarded by the court to the Cubans.
Gee. The $250+K they saved by scamming the court and coercing the drydock co - was it worth it, now that $80 mil is on the line?
How are they going to avoid this? Sink the Freewinds? They will have to put into port sometime. Will it be commandeered by the Coast Guard and put up for auction? Time to get the checkbook out Dave.
This is a real interesting candid snapshot of the basic M.O. of Scientology. ( G.A.G. - the Golden Age of Greed )
