Please can you tell us some practical steps we can take to help in the struggle to free CW?

I sent an email to Mark offering to help him with some financial support and I was very surprised that he never replied to me.

I would like to ask anyone who reads this post and has had a similar experience to please post here so that Mike can know just how often this has happened. I certainly hope it has not happened very often.

The report by Tracey stated a percentage of these properties purchased in the last 3 years were paid for far above the going rate.
Doesn’t that then inflate the tax accordingly? And then if they don’t cost the city because they are not used it gives a bit of benefit to the otherwise dead downtown anyway (from what I’ve heard) so it would be a matter of the city utilizing that ‘extra’ income to otherwise attract new business around the area?

@jennyfurr –
Duggan attributes “much of his success” to Scientology. Swell! Only, if you don’t mind, he’d rather, um, you know, not have his name linked to it, er, right now…

Joining TC, JT, Elizabeth Moss and Laura Prepon, another Whale distancing himself from the toxic PR of the Cult of Scientology! Because, its, um – bad for business!

“Of course, but I don’t imagine you’re supposed to combine that with 2400 personal lawsuits against”

REALLY? According to the US Constitution that is how one could do it. I am constantly shocked at how any Americans are unfamiliar with the THE most important law in the land

Of course, but I don’t imagine you’re supposed to combine that with 2400 personal lawsuits against IRS agents, to the point that they throw their hands up and say, “We give up. Just make the lawsuits go away and you can have whatever you want.”

My wording may not have been perfect, but I thought everyone was well informed about how they got their tax exempt status.

Thanks! I’ll pull it up and check out the details then (was on phone when I’d asked before).
No matter how you slice it, the co$ presence combined with the impact on downtown cost CW a LOT of money! And yet these guys just continue to tiptoe.

I know – that seemed odd to me, too. I didn’t know about the dentist George mentioned, though I think either Mike or Tony had posted back when discussing if Bob D was distancing himself after the divorce that he had someone younger and new that he was with all the time. And I don’t think she’s a scientologist. Of course, co$ did help them pawn off an adopted child or two, so perhaps he’s saying nice things so they keep his confidences?!

Just Wondering going through the IRS is the correct channel to get tax exempt status

It is a credit card merchant account provider that caters specifically to scammers, typically the India-based tech support scammers that everybody is familiar with by now. The person who owns them, also owns companies that do these tech support scams. They were in the game well before it blew up to the ubiquity it has today.

I was always curious about a possible Scientology connection, given that the constant need for more and more cash has driven many within it’s ranks to pull similar nonsense, with MediCal billing and whatever else they can get into.
