The following are Monique Yingling's notes of their meeting with Bob Minton. If you read these notes, you'll see that Rod Keller and Arnie Lerma are following the Scientology plan to eliminate many of their legal problems.
Great work, Rod and Arnie! You've totally lost any sort of moral sense that you once had. You might as well call up Yingling and offer to help her directly with achieving the goals of her notes.
