Special Favors and Gifts for David Miscavige
Matt Pesch, Amy Scobee's husband, commented on how the meagre pay for a Sea Org member was invaded and confiscated for David Miscavige Brithday and Christmas GIFTS~~
QUOTE:
The money was taken from each staff member as they picked up their pay and their name was checked off against a crew list. Each staff member would be chased up as needed until they paid the fixed amount. One could argue
that the payment for the Miscavige gift was voluntary just like one could argue that protection payments to the Mafia are voluntary.
The fixed amount was always at least $15 per person. If 5,000 members each gave $15 you are talking $75,000 twice a year. That’s quite a “gift” when most Sea Org members are lucky to get paid $2,000 a year.
End of quote.
What a racket ! Enforcing $15 a pop from 5000 members to feather DM's nest when he already lives like a Saudi King.
I am assuming that the IRS grants 501C3s to entities that it consider ETHICAL and without FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES.
But Radical TALIBAN Scientology reeks of FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES.
++++++Use Sea Org members to pimp up the Real Estate of Tom Cruise.
++++++ Use Sea Org Labor, for personal favors for Tom Cruise, from Personal Chef activities ~~ Sinar…please chip in~~ to SLEEP DEPRIVATION to plant flowers on INT BASE so Tom could skip through the wildflowers

++++++Use John Brousseau to drive round trip to OREGON multiple times to PIMP up further real estate of Tom Cruise.

+++++++Gouge Parishioners for “Library Donations”, when these books are often thrown in the dumpster, or sold off for $1 racks. The CULT knowingly continued to reg for these FANTASY Library donations long after they knew the scene.
++++++++The cult’s books are not audited, so there is no verification that library donations actually were and even shipped.
############
++++Massive over regging and gouging of Parishioners for RIP- off no exchange.
Not for auditing, not for training, but for “Ideal Orgs” for a photo Op for DM and the bragging that the Church has more REAL Estate.
++++They do not disclose to the rank and file that they are sitting with $1 billion to $1.5 billion in reserves, but demand that the sucker take out a 2nd and 3rd mortgage to become a
HUMANITARIAN
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+++++++Years and Years of their Sales teams making unauthorised purchases billed to credit cards on accounts, this has occurred on VISA, MC and AMEX. They even lost their privileges with AMEX for this for a period of time with certain “Churches.”
++++++++Regging people to pay $40,000 to IAS for Patron Status and then to DECLARE Bankruptcy so that AMEX paid for the Patron Fees. The regges would actually tell people to pay on AMEX and let the Patron status occur, then they could "declare bankruptcy" and get off the hook so that the credit card company swallowed the $40,000. In the early 1990s, I personally know of 3 people that did this, but it was widespread. Jessica Hollingsworth speak up !
