The controversial global "religion" notorious for attacking Internet
free speech, committing human rights abuses, and persecuting its former
members, has posted a $9 million bond to halt the seizure of its
assets by a judgment creditor. Two weeks ago, a Los Angeles judge ruled
that Scientology (the Church of Scientology International and Religious
Technology Center) had stripped out $340 million in corporate assets
from the Church of Scientology of California to thwart a judgment
creditor.

The creditor gave the following statement regarding the $9 million bond:

"They have never put up a bond before because they were terrified if
they paid off any one victim, then tens of thousands of other victims
would come forward and sue them and possibly collect. This forced bond
is a major victory for every Scientology victim all over the world
thinking about suing Scientology for its ongoing human rights abuses and
religious persecution activities. I beleive that Scientology they will
even be facing new criminal charges in the US for their asset-
stripping and other felony corporate fraud."

For more information and the court ruling which declared that
ScientologyM-^Rs new corporations mere alter egos, that Scientology
officers and trustees intermingle at will between various Scientology
corporations, and that all Scientology corporations are under the
single business control of David Miscavige, see:
