ARNIE LERMA

Several weeks before the FACTNET raids, Arnie was raided for posting the internationally best-selling Upper Level Materials to the Internet. This case received media attention, a situation that sent the cult into one of their litigation tailspins. The judge dismissed most of the charges, finding Arnie guilty of five

counts of copyright infringement. He was ordered to pay a minimum fine of $500 per infringement. Co$ was denied attorney fees. Arnie is appealing.

ZENON PANOUSSIS

It is unlikely that the cult lawyers expected that their own actions would result in Sweden becoming the only country in the world where the Secret Scriptures may be legally obtained.

KARIN SPAINK

Karin and 12 Dutch Internet providers are being sued by the cult for having the Fishman Affidavit (containing parts of OT1 through OT7) on homepages. The cult lost the February 1996 trial, was ordered to pay costs and has appealed. The appeal was scheduled for June 1996, but to date, the cult has not moved on it. The defendants believe the reason for this is that Co$ is afraid it will lose.
