The Tigger Unit has claimed on a number of occasions that Bob has sued
Dan Leipold.

E.g.,

[Quote]

Bob sued Dan Leipold because he wasn't willing to wait.

[Quote]

Brooks & Minton ... chose to sue Dan Leipold

[End Quote]
Message-ID:
<14516-3D8...@storefull-2277.public.lawson.webtv.net>

[Quote]

Hey if Bob Minton can sue Dan Leipold, whoever, I would think Dan
Leipold, whoever could file lawsuits against Minton and/or Brooks and
I hope they do.

[End Quote]
Message-ID:
<20657-3D5...@storefull-2275.public.lawson.webtv.net>

Is there really such a case or is this just another Tigger Unit lie?

If there is such a case, can someone please point to it or post the
complaint.

Thanks.

See Minton's testimony:


11 Q Okay. And one note before we get back to
where we
12 left off before lunch. Did you retain an attorney to
13 represent your interests in seeking repayment from
14 Mr. Leipold in California?
15 A I did.
16 Q What is the attorney's name?
17 A Gary Soter.
18 Q How do you spell that?
19 A S?O?T?E?R.
20 Q And is he an attorney in California?
21 A He is.
22 Q And is he an attorney who either currently
or in
23 the past has represented the interests of the Church
of
24 Scientology?
25 A He has told me that he has never represented
the


1351

1 Church of Scientology. We discussed potential
conflicts of
2 interest in our first conversation.


So it would appear that the person you should be asking about this is
the Minton Unit himself.

The Tigger Unit is the one stating here on a.r.s. on multiple
occasions that Bob *sued* Dan Leipold. Bob does *not* say that in his
testimony.

If no one on a.r.s. has any information to confirm what Tigger is
claiming then I may go to Minton, and I may go to Leipold.

The Tigger Unit lies about so many things it is reasonable to check
its claims, and if no one can confirm its claims it is reasonable to
conclude it's lying.

But, what data do you have Monica? Is Tigger lying here?

Why not just go to the LA Superior Court website at
http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org and pop in the case number, which
is c332027.

I do not believe, however, that there is an actual suit called
"Minton v. Leipold," there was, instead, an adversary proceeding
subsidiary to the Wollersheim suit itself, which continues to
crawl along like Jarndyce & Jarndyce.

Minton is listed as a cross-complainant. Soter, also in the
list, is his attorney (or was his attorney) for the purposes of
pursuing Leipold. All that has been settled, though. You
might remember Gary Soter, Minton's attorney. He was
hired by Kendrick Moxon to go after Graham Berry. Nice
business associates Minton has now.

Go ahead and call Leipold if you want, though I doubt he's
in any mood to talk to Scientology critics after the shafting
he got from the Scientology/Minton tag team. I have heard
he's never going to do any Scientology litigation again.
I don't blame him after having had a "critic" go after him
with a Scientology lawyer.

If true, yet another piece of fallout from the Minton idiocy.

OK, so he hired a lawyer in connection with this dispute: do we
know whether and when proceedings were actually issued?

Yes, proceedings were brought, heard and ultimately (at least with regard
to Minton) resolved. As far as I know, the current status of the interpleader
is that at least all disputes with former lawyers and Minton have been resolved
except that possibly there is still a dispute with Ford Greene. If I recall
correctly from the secondhand information I have, Greene was claiming that
his share of the judgment had appreciated at 10% postjudgment interest
in the same manner as the judgment itself appreciated. I'm not sure whether
this part of the matter has been resolved or whether it has been at all, though
Greene's claim does not appear frivolous.

I also do not know exactly the terms of anything else. It would be nice if
someone would go down and dig through some of the relevant documents
before the really juicy ones are stolen from the courthouse like the Zolin
tapes.

I remember this being discussed earlier. Thaddeus Beier attended a
July 15, 2002 hearing and reported to a.r.s.
Message-ID: <3D335E03...@hammerhead.com>

I'm almost certain that the "Greene," who has or had the unsettled
claim and the demand for post-judgment interest, is Brown Greene, not
Ford Greene.

Charlie O'Reilly and Leta Schlosser, who were co-trial counsel for
Lawrence Wollersheim, were with the Brown Greene firm at that time.
I'll see if I can find the firm name from that time.

I think Leta left the Brown Greene firm and continued to represent LW
in various matters and on occasion afterward.

WHAT MONEY? Gee did someone give "Tigger" some money? PROVE IT. How
much money does it take to post to anewsgroup and tell the truth about
Robert S. Minton, Jr.?

>and that if Minton would not have paid >Ken Dandar's job first, Ken

What the HELL are you talking about? It's Minton and the Church of
Scientology who is ATTACKING Ken Dandar.

Well the attacks you just did here are despicable, delutional and PURE
BULLSHIT. Who has joined the COS to make the Lisa wrongful death suit
"go away" to spit on LIsa's grave and her family and to get the COS off
the hook?
ROBERT S. MINTON, JR. & STACY BROOKS YOUNG BROOKS, that's who.

Geesh, GET A BRAIN.

No use getting all huffy over it, Tigger. The truth remains that Bob &
Stacy turned..not out of a gesture to assist Scientology... but so Bob
could unglue himself from all the litigation that surrounded him and
so he could retain the moneyed lifestyle that he was accustomed to.
For Stacy, who benefitted financially being Bob's mistress, the leaf
does not fall far from the tree.
>

Gerry Armstrong needs one. Isn't it interesting that a popular
ex-Scieno that received over $100,000 from Minton REFUSES and HIDES
from questions on what his opinion of Bob Minton is now...since the
flip-flop to Scientology..

Curious whether Gerry surmises that if he avoids the questions, he
might still be able to get some more $$$ from the Minton ATM.

It all depends.

And I say that without in any way accepting your term "money
laundering," since I received a legal opinion, on which I depended,
that there was no "money laundering."

And now that I've answered your question, I have one for you.

You wrote:

Gerry Armstrong signed an agreement with the Church of Scientology,
for which he agreed not to talk about Scientology in public in

Scientology in public, and was sued for breach of contract by the
CoS.

That has nothing to do with free speech. Gerry Armstrong signed
that contract knowing full well what he was doing. He changed his
mind, but rather than being honest and handing the money back
to the Church of Scientology, he hid it.

I doubt if there is any European country which permits individuals
to break a formal agreement without facing consequences.

You are, naturally, lying.

It's a lie that I "changed my mind."

It's a lie that I signed an agreement to not talk about the cult in
public in exchange for $850,000.

It's a stupidity to say that you doubt that there is any European
country which permits individuals to break a formal agreement without
facing consequences. It's the content, and the conditions at the time
of signing, not the formalness (whatever that is) of the "agreement,"
which will determine its judicial enforceability.

But the lie I want to question you about is your lie that I "hid the
money." You repeat this lie when you state that "rather than being
honest and handing the money back" to the cult, I "hid it."

This is actually a good example -- since the subject was being
discussed here a while back -- of libel.

So my question to you is: what evidence of any kind do you have to
support your lie that I hid any of the money the Scientology cult paid
me in settlement to dismiss my case against them?

Thank you.

No, Gerry, but you did accept the money and spent it.

All your deliberate lies, misrepresentation of the facts, and spin
zone treatment thereof, is not going to change that.

You can continue to rely on your suck-up supporters on ARS, but the
time that you will be forced to accept accountability for your actions
is approaching...

Be prepared, Scam Artist.

Acceping legal advice from Arnie Lerma is neither wise nor prudent.

You are, unnaturally, delusional.

I don't believe you have enough of a mind left to change.
From the looks of your recent posts, you've reached blithering
idiot status.

>It's a lie that I signed an agreement to not talk about the cult in

You're the liar, Gerry. It's a lie that you are a prophet. It's a
lie that God speaks to you. It's a lie that you are doing God's
work.

You are delusional. Or worse, you may be *pretending* you're
delusional.

The stupidity here is your claiming you do God's work, Garry
Armstrong.

>But the lie I want to question you about is your lie that I "hid the
>money." You repeat this lie when you state that "rather than being

What did you do with that $850,000 if you didn't hide it?

I know you won't answer that, since you wriggle and squirm
like a snake any time you're asked to take responsibility for you
own actions.

It's so much easier for you to lie than tell the truth and suffer
the consequences, after all.

>This is actually a good example -- since the subject was being
>discussed here a while back -- of libel.

So sue me. Do you have the guts to sue me? I'm sure you don't.

Or will you just continue mewling and puking on usenet?

I'm willing to bet the latter. Anyone willing to bet that Prophet
Gerry will actually be brave enough to back up his words with action?

This newsgroup has seen enough of you to know you're nothing more than
a hypocritical blowhard who doesn't even believe his own shore
stories.

>So my question to you is: what evidence of any kind do you have to

It's not a lie, Gerry Armstrong. I know it's the truth, you know it's
the truth, and your God knows it's the truth.

Quit demanding that everyone else believe your lies.

>Thank you.

You are welcome. Now let's see if you have the honesty to
answer my question. I'll repeat it for you:

Will you be answering questions about the part you played in
assisting Robert S. Minton, Jr. (or, if you prefer, "The Minton Unit")
in money laundering?

Thank you.

Garry,
Why do you belong to a supposed Church that in your own words
has to pay people hundreds of thousands of dollars hush people up
about what would otherwise be seen as its own missteps, and why do you
belong to an organization that prefers to incite fear to silence
people, as you just attempted to do, rather than allowing people to
speak freely? Is this the type of freedom that awaits you on the
other side of the Bridge to Total Freedom? Where're ya goin' dude?

In GerryKook's mindset, unless his royal flatulence deems your

Lovely. Another critic posting her opinion is accused of being OSA by
a dumbfucked twit from Berlin.

Diane Richardson is as much OSA as Rev. (for revolting?) as Goosey
Gandow is a ranting neo-Nazi with nothing of value to contribute to
ARS.

So, it becomes obvious that both Garry and Diane are typical
Scientologists.... Whenever questions hit home they are conditioned
like Pavlov's pet peeves to pretend to themselves and to everyone else
that they didn't hear it, and instead to try most desperately to
change the subject. Probably neither of them will respond to this
posting either. How could they, unless they tried to attack me
personally, again changing the subject as all properly conditioned
Scientologists know they must to stay In-Ethics. Is it any wonder
that Scientologists are befuddled? LRH has screwed up the way they
think so deeply that without using the old attack-bait-and-switch
tactic, or simply the bait-and-switch tactic, none of them could argue
themselves out of a wet paper bag!!! Hah!!!!!

Hmm. Do you mean like you're changing the subject into baseless
accusations that the person disagreeing with you is a Scientologist?
Neither Diane Richardson nor Garry Scarff are or have ever been

You haven't asked me any questions. Rather, I started this thread by
asking Gerry Armstrong a question, which he has clumsily dodged yet
again by attacking me.

>and instead to try most desperately to

I started this thread by asking Gerry Armstrong if he was going to
answer questions about the role he played in assisting Robert S.
Minton, Jr., to launder money.

Gerry Armstrong has since desperately attempted to change the subject
by attacking me. According to your logic, I guess that makes Gerry
Armstrong the Scientologist, no?

>Probably neither of them will respond to this

Wrong again.

>How could they, unless they tried to attack me

>Scientologists know they must to stay In-Ethics.

If you wish to keep this thread on topic, then please discuss the
subject of this thread: i.e., will Gerry Armstrong be discussing the
part he played in assisting Robert S. Minton, Jr., in laundering
money.

I'll be glad to hear your opinion on the topic of this thread.

Hah? I know Gerry Armstrong was a Scientologist and is still
immersed in Hubbard-think. Is that why Gerry Armstrong "attacks
rather than defends" any time he is asked an uncomfortable question?

OK, you spun exactly as expected my friend, you didn't answer my
question as to why you choose to involve yourself in a group that has
to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in hush money -in your own
words- and that often prefers to frighten and intimidate its critics
into silence, rather than honestly to address their concerns. If you
could answer these questions rationally, then maybe I'd believe you
were a rational human being, but instead you choose to spin, spin,

Hello Diane,
Please forgive me for assuming you were a Scientologist without
knowing for sure. After doing a little bit of web surfing about your
name, it would appear I was mistaken. I apologize. It's just that
your tone throughout this entire thread seems to be more concerned
with the pecadillos of Gerry than with the ongoing blackmail,
espionage, apparently death threats to yourself, and Lord only knows
what else being done by the Co$. That threw me. Why this focus on
something here that seems to me to be incidental to the whole purpose
of this newsgroup?

Good point Diane. I am somewhat familiar with the mechanism for
setting up and "chartering" a new newsgroup and I thought I would
followup your line of thought and look into the exact nature of the
"charter" of this newsgroup. Apparently back in March of 95 some
well-intended, but poorly informed Scientologist decided that perhaps
the newsgroup medium would be an excellent medium to proseletyse
Scientology, and he (or perhaps she) created and chartered
alt.religion.scientology for this express purpose.

I find nothing objectionable to this purpose or intent, any more than
I would want someone else to object to my own desire to be allowed to
express my own opinion freely, so long as I do not espouse violence.

Prior to my reading the initial welcome to the newsgroup that was
posted back in March of 1995, I had thought that ARS was started by
critics, but in fact it was started by a dedicated Scientologist. (By
the way, the initial welcome to the newsgroup is available at:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/scientology/users/welcome/ .

Prior to this, I had believed that ARS was a newsgroup that started
out as critical of the CoS and that later was infiltrated by CoS'er's.
As you know, I consider myself to be a critic of the CoS. If anyone
was interested, I would be happy to setup and charter a newsgroup such
as alt.cult.scientology as a newsgroup explicitly for the critics of
the CoS.

Surely you jest. A Scientologist, or anyone else for that matter, would have
found it difficult to create alt.religion.scientology in 1995 considering that
it had already existed since July 17, 1991, when it was newgrouped by
a critic.

Nonsense. One doesn't rmgroup active thriving groups simply because they
were "not discussed on alt.config", *especially* not several years *after*
they were newgrouped. You've got the wrong alt.* hierarchy here, methinks.

(3) it has the name

So what's your point? Are you maintaining that nobody can use a trademarked
word? Are you maintaining that nobody can attack the Scientology religion?
Again, I think you have quite the wrong alt.* hierarchy here...

(4) it has been and continues to be
> heavily abused with copyright and trade secret violations and

Um, I think you're seriously confused; this is alt.religion.scientology,
not alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.scientologists . "Trade secret violations"?
For a *religion*? I think you have the wrong United States of America here...

a newly created group; it's been around a while. The reasons he gives

I am issuing this "newgroup" message in order to counter the
improper, and probably forged, "rmgroup" message that was issued
two days ago. The supposed author of this message,
rmo...@black.clarku.edu, claims that he did not send it.

alt.religion.scientology is a VERY high-volume newsgroup which
has existed for four years. There is no proper reason to
globally remove it. There are some improper reasons someone
might try this, and you can read more information in my web page

http://www.cybercom.net/~rnewman/scientology/home.html

Please support free speech on the Internet.

If this rmgroup was intended as a joke, please don't do it again.
Given the last 8 months of history involving this newsgroup,
it was not very funny.

newsgroup from your system. The reson for requesting this removal
include the recent decline of activity and increase of "spam"
messages posted to this newsgroup. The existence of said newsgroup
is now very controversial and libel towards the Church of Scientology
as many of these "spams" include 'get rich quick schemes' and many
other posts strongly opposed of or disaprooved by the Church of
Scientology. Besides annoying and useless activities taking place
in said newsgroup, there continues to be a flood of articles
containing information which violates the copyright laws of the
United States against the Church of Scientology.

Commercial Internet Service Providers are strongly encouraged to
remove this group for the information contained therein will from this
time forth be considered the sole responsibility of said Internet
Provider, and information therein which requires action by law will
render said Internet Service provider the defendant of said lawsuit.

However, the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology is alive and well,
despite an ongoing spam attack of biblical proportions. The flood
of articles containing copyrighted information on the so-called Church
(which is the subject of several ongoing threads in news.admin.
net-abuse.misc) appears to be sponsored, or at least sanctioned by
the Co$, as evidenced by this letter leaked to a.r.s earlier this
week:

In other words, Korbin (or someone claiming to be Korbin) is asking
news admins, on behalf of the so-called Church of Scientology,
to rmgroup alt.religion.scientology in part because of a spam
attack sponsored or supported by the criminal organization.

I ask that news admins disregard future rmgroup messages for
alt.religion.scientology, and help keep the net open for
free discussion, both pro- and con-, on matters surrounding
the CoS.

For more information, please monitor alt.religion.scientology,
alt.religion.scientology.xenu, and news.admin.net-abuse.misc,
or visit http://daemon.apana.org.au/~fjc/scn/spam.html.

However, the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology is alive and well,
despite an ongoing spam attack of biblical proportions. The flood
of articles containing copyrighted information on the so-called Church
(which is the subject of several ongoing threads in news.admin.
net-abuse.misc) appears to be sponsored, or at least sanctioned by
the Co$, as evidenced by this letter leaked to a.r.s earlier this
week:

In other words, Korbin (or someone claiming to be Korbin) is asking
news admins, on behalf of the so-called Church of Scientology,
to rmgroup alt.religion.scientology in part because of a spam
attack sponsored or supported by the criminal organization.

I ask that news admins disregard future rmgroup messages for
alt.religion.scientology, and help keep the net open for
free discussion, both pro- and con-, on matters surrounding
the CoS.

For more information, please monitor alt.religion.scientology,
alt.religion.scientology.xenu, and news.admin.net-abuse.misc,
or visit http://daemon.apana.org.au/~fjc/scn/spam.html.

This long standing well used group was rmgrouped in error by a french
newsadmin.

He has asked for people to re newgroup it so I am. The post is below:

From: migu...@france-cybermedia.comNOSPAM (Miguelito)
Newsgroups: news.admin.misc
Subject: Please ignore rmgroup alt.religion.scientology
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 22:03:21 +0100

Message-ID: <MPG.f25f503c...@news.pratique.fr>
NNTP-Posting-Host: 195.68.9.71

I made a blunder throwing a cmsg rmgroup alt.religion.scientology
yesterday.

I cancelled the message, but it seems it was processed anyway.

Please ignore the rmgroup if you're a news admin.

Some people could also consider posting "booster" newgroup messages to

correct it.

Sorry for the inconveniance.
