Another OT VIII Success Story

[Andrew Robertson]

Richie Acunto is an élite public Scientologist. A 'new' OT VIII, CEO of
Survival Insurance, a millionaire with a Beverly Hills mansion, a trophy
wife and a generous contributor of $10 million to the IAS. In other
words a big being and a shining example of how applying Scientology
principles can pull one out of the dwindling spiral.

But curiously, Survival Insurance has just filed for bankruptcy, his
wife has filed for divorce and his mansion is up for sale.

It's not Scientology's fault, certainly not, for as everyone knows if
the tech is 100% standardly applied it always works. So obviously it
wasn't 100% standardly applied. I can think of no other explanation.

I lived with Richie and Nicky Hopkins in a house near Celebrity Centre
until he was broke and decided he wanted a deposit from me. At the
time, all he owned was a motorcycle. He told me stories about being a
dope dealer out of an ice cream truck back east where he came from.
Richie's been running a hustle a lonnnng time - this was inevitable.

I have the perfect correction list for his condition. There's only
one item on it. Put down the friggin cans!

Sorry Andrew, I can't read his self-serving shit. Couldn't you give
us a one sentence summary?

Didn't they make a movie about this? Sounds like the plot for Nice
Dreams with Cheech and Chong.

In the 182 comments on the blog, a persistent theme is that someone who
vacuums $10 million from their company to donate to the IAS has it
coming to them.

As for Mr Acunto himself, a couple of quotes:

"Over the last 20 years, I’ve known several people who have worked for
Survival Insurance, including my now-disconnected brother-in-law.

From the impressions I got, the owner of that company’s character could
easily be summed up in the middle of his last name." - Scott Campbell

"Richie knew this was coming.

Clouden and Mathers are next. The IAS wants everything from these guys
and they are getting it.

There are big problems in the Class XII HGC as well. Big problems." -
'Clearwater is Awake'

My grandfather had an expression 'wide boy' which may not be common now
but it refers to people like ticket touts, fraudsters and black market
traders.
