I picked up this link from a poster on this list.
Here's a comment from the legal record: "By the end of the second week following his initial interview with the Scientology agent, Plaintiff had already spent or pledged approximately $30,000 for Scientology courses, materials and/or auditing services that Plaintiff had been told would bring him back to his pre-accident condition, curing his permanent injuries."
This was after they had obtained his medical and psychological records.
His mother learned of this and angrily asked for and got a refund from them for the $30,000 he had spent. The man was suffering from permanent brain damage, and his settlings were in her care.
However, the son returned to Scientology and spent hundreds of thousands more.
That doesn't end the story by any means. The Scientologist's wanted all of his care money.
"32. Plaintiff was induced to participate in Scientology and the business transactions described herein primarily by statements frequently made to him by Jim Hamre and other Scientology agents, to the effect that Scientologists were "the most ethical people on the planet." This was of great significance and importance to Plaintiff, since it caused him to believe the Scientologists who were advising him were trustworthy and concerned with his best interests. However, Plaintiff never learned during his tenure with Scientology that the Church of Scientology, which refers to its methods as "technology," adheres to its singular definition of the word ethics, which is that:
Ethics is a first dynamic action. All ethics really does is hold the lines firm so that you can route and audit.33. In late 1991, Plaintiff was approached by Jim Hamre, who, after again inquiring about the amount of funds available to Plaintiff, told Plaintiff of a business opportunity, which Hamre characterized as very promising. Hamre introduced Plaintiff to Defendant Michael Zetner, also a Scientologist, who described his company, RC&A Group, Inc. (hereinafter, "RC&A"), and its purported plan to install telephones in jails for use by inmates. Defendant RC&A is a Scientologist-owned and run company licensed by Defendant WISE to use the "administrative technology" of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, for a fee of 10% of RC&A's gross receipts. Zetner boasted to Plaintiff of the great plans he had for RC&A and its jailhouse telephone scheme, and he and Hamre encouraged Plaintiff to act quickly to invest in the company. Although they knew of Plaintiff's mental disability, Hamre and Zetner urged that there was no need for Plaintiff to seek independent advice regarding the soundness of investing in RC&A and urged Plaintiff to act without delay. As had the other Scientologists with whom Plaintiff had communicated, Zetner assured Plaintiff that he, Zetner was extremely ethical, and he solicited and gained Plaintiff's trust and confidence."All ethics is for in actual fact is simply that additional tool necessary to make it possible to get technology in. That's the whole purpose of ethics; to get technology in.
And, so their defrauding schemes continued. You can follow the link. A lot of you already have.
For me, a crime like this is enough to make me an enemy of Scientology for life.
There is nothing worse than defrauding the poor and crippled.
Every single one of these Scientologist's are guilty. They cover up. They lie. They do not look at the evidence. They close their eyes while their brothers and sisters rape and pillage the poor.
