Just a few days ago, I noted that it appears that IAS refunds are going more quickly than usual. Then, within two days of each other, Tory Bezazian and Ed Hattaway also report virtually instant IAS refunds.

This is all very interesting, as the cult continues to refuse to return moneys on account and moneys for services already rendered which are alleged to have been unsatisfactory. This is very odd. After all, moneys on account are just frankly legally required refunds and there's no possible justification for not returning them. Moneys for unsatisfactory services usually involve fraud, another big no-no.

However, this is the deal. IAS funds are just flat-out DONATIONS. They even for a while advertised IAS refunds as donations to the WAR CHEST. So donations by law are usually no-strings-attached, and it would be a difficult argument to make that the cult is required to refund them.

So I find it quite suspicious that the cult is making IAS refunds without a fight, when they apparently don't even have to do that, at least according to the law on its face. (Now fraud may be involved with IAS donations too, such as in the Gardini case where they claimed it was for orgs in Italy, but often, this is just an actual "donation," not a "fixed donation" or a price actually for services or goods of a concrete value.)

Why are they doing this? They don't even refund money they have no legal justification whatsoever to keep, at least not without a fight, massive picketing, credible threats of lawsuits, etc. However, they're coughing up these IAS donations they have no legal obligation whatsoever to cough up.

My opinion of this is simple. The IAS is involved in vast criminal activity, and is nothing but a huge money-laundering operation, and this would come out by even scratching a fingernail over the transactions going on with this criminal operation. The previous criminal enterprise which served this function was the "Hubbard Association of Scientologists International" or HASI, which also was forced to shut down after it became too high-profile. They then moved the criminality to IAS, just as they moved the criminality of the old GO over to OSA.

The cult is making rapid refunds of IAS donations to avoid what would ultimately be discovery into astounding criminality on the part of IAS.

Actions this calls for: any litigants either being sued by or suing the cult should immediately name IAS as a party, because whether you are suing or being sued by the cult, IAS is the source of the funds, through the "War Chest," and by the same sorts of arguments the cult is using to subpoena LMT personnel over the Lisa McPherson case, the cult's IAS slush-fund is, itself, a party to the suit, either by funding it, or by orchestrating criminal activities relating to the actions alleged in the lawsuit against the cult.

No matter what the issue, the IAS is involved as a party, and should always be named and targeted for massive discovery.

What do people think of this?

(An alternate, innocent explanation of the IAS refunds coming so rapidly is that "money on account" and other such moneys immediately go uplines from the local org, therefore a local org is in no financial position to make refunds of money that is always gone, whereas the IAS is just a huge pile of money and can afford to make refunds. This explanation would still, however, not explain why they return refunds they are, at least on the face of it, not even legally obligated to return, while continuing to hold on to money they have no legal justification whatsoever to keep.)
