That's all in today's paper (I'm getting that!).
Favourite quote (from the charge sheet):
"L?on voit donc que l?absence de toute rationalité dans la profession
scientologue est compensée par une grande rationalité des finances, autour
d?une recherche du profit optimal stimulée par l?assurance pour les
officiers traitant de la scientologie d?un gain personnel, calculé au
pourcentage des sommes versées par leurs étudiants"
So, we see that the absence of any rationality in the scientology faith is
compensated by a great rationality in the finances, organised around a
search for maximum profit stimulated by assurances to the scientology
officers of personal gain calculated as a percentage of the sums spent by
their students."
Pretty much, yeah :-)
Mwahahahahaaa!
