"Obtaining property by false pretenses is the obtaining of property
(including tax free donations via Deceased Estates) by intentionally
misrepresenting a past or existing fact."

"In law, it means making untrue statements for the purpose of
obtaining money or property. It is a form of theft."

Cornell University Law School
False Pretenses
"Under common law, a defendant commits the crime of false pretenses when by
making an intentional statement with intent to defraud the victim he obtains
title to the personal property of the victim. For a defendant to be
convicted of this crime, the intentional false statement he makes to the
victim must reference a past or present fact or event, a false statement
regarding the future or some sort of future promise would not suffice to
satisfy that element of the crime. False pretenses differs from larceny
in that title, and not just possession of the victim's personal property
is obtained by the defendant."

Some Reference info where Eckankar obtained "title to property" from a
victim through "false pretenses" and "fraud".

I wonder what the US Justice Dept and AG would do when they become aware
of such facts and the evidence that confirms the truth of it?
