16        Q    And was there anything else besides the Nigerian
17   and the Swiss prosecutors -- was there anything else that
18   came to your attention concerning Bob Minton being -- having
19   a noisy investigation done of him by Scientology?

20        A    Yes.  There's another instances of it.

21             Bob had a interest or stock or something in a car
22   dealership.  I believe it was in Boston.  And Scientology
23   investigators went around and spoke to the principals at the
24   car dealership.  And at the end of that, they no longer
25   wanted to do business with Mr. Minton.  They didn't feel
127
1   like it was safe.  It was putting the company in jeopardy to
2   have investigators running around making these sorts of
3   allegations.  And so he lost that business venture.

4        Q    That was a Lexus dealership, correct?

5        A    Correct.

6        Q    It wasn't some old used car lot on the corner.

7        A    No.

8             MR. WEINBERG:  Just for the record, is all this
9        based on conversations with Mr. Minton?

10             THE WITNESS:  Yes.  Yes, it is.

12        Q    And how did Mr. Minton feel about losing his
13   partnership in a Lexus dealership in New England?

14        A    He just broke down and cried.  He was like, how is
15   it possible to live in a country like America and not be
16   able to stop this, to turn this off in some way?
