Mr. Mislav Raos
IAS Administations
1311 N. New Hampshire Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90027
RE:
Kevin & Vicky Mackey
Dear Mr. Raos,
Please be advised that Kevin and Vicky Mackey have retained attorneys
Graham Berry and Barry Van Sickle to pursue their claims for a return of money
taken from them by IAS. In addition to seeking what was taken from them by
lAS, Mr. and Mrs. Mackey are assembling a group of former Scientologists who
also seek a return of IAS payments.
This activity is being conducted in
contemplation of filing a multi-party lawsuit unless IAS demonstrates a serious
intent to resolve these claims without the necessity of litigation.
I have reviewed the correspondence on the matter exchanged between
your office and the Mackeys. The Mackeys have been directed to submit their
claims to the IAS Administrative offices in Los Angeles, California. Accordingly,
we are writing to your office in Los Angeles and contemplate filing litigation in Los
Angeles if necessary
A comprehensive statement of the legal grounds upon which the Mackeys
and others will base their claims against IAS is beyond the scope and purpose of
this letter. In short, the IAS has a history of obtaining money by misleading,
coercing and deceiving its targets. A payment is not "voluntary" in the eyes of the
law if made in circumstances of misrepresentation, deceit, coercion or fraud. IAS
and Scientology "policy", which is typically given as an excuse to deny claims, is
largely irrelevant to this issue.
Mr. Mackey addresses several instances of coercive and fraudulent tactics
in his letter to you dated November 13, 2008. Your response suggests that Mr.
Mackey was uninformed, which is curious as he was there and you were not.
Under common law and California statute, one seeking "donations" for a
supposed charitable or religious cause has a fiduciary duty owed to the person form whom the "donation" is sought. (See e.g. California B&P Code §17510.8 )
This fiduciary duty places a high duty of honesty, candor and good faith upon IAS
in seeking its purported donations.
The events listed in Mr. Mackey's
correspondence
indicate a pattern of deceit and manipulation which would
clearly be a breach of fiduciary duties.
In addition to deceit and coercion regarding the activities of lAS, and
where the money actually goes, there is the fact that IAS "donations" are part of
the purchase price for obtaining upper level services. Obtaining IAS payments
by misrepresentation, coercion, deceit and as disguised payment for services,
also brings consumer protection laws and unfair business practice laws into play.
This will not be the first in a series of letters written for refunds. I suspect
that litigation will be required. If the Scientology enterprise has a serious desire
to avoid litigation over IAS activities, now is the time to address these claims.
Sincerely,

BVS/kvs

Damn! Its like the perfect storm

-The Lionel Hutz Offense: Encourage everyone and anyone to sue the Co$ (even frivilous lawsuits are welcome)

-Operation Goldmine: Based on the Marc Headly case, encourage Sea Org members to sue the cult. Encourage a "get rich quick" feeling. (get people thinking "hey, that could be me") Why work as a slave when you could sue for big bucks? Reparations must be paid.

Run with it. Get it to the right people. Do massive damage.

Seriously, there is a deluge of lawsuits just waiting to break free. Suing the cult could mean big bucks for the victims of its crimes. I'm sure the lawyers already smell the money. The big, big money.

EyeOnSci

Lawsuits, and more lawsuits. The cult knows this tactic well...from the other side, lulz.

You know the best part? If Scientology doesn't settle fast and this turns into a class action lawsuit, then the offense can get from the suing party the names & contact information from everyone who has contributed to the IAS & Super Powers building and ask them if they want to join.

If I were the cult, the best course of action would be to pay them off to avoid that scenario while this is still small.

Something tells me the horse has already bolted on this one. They have so much to answer for, everywhere they turn they've got someone ready to hand them papers.

Oh God. Yes. Please.

Scientology does not tolerate other religions. He mocks Christ and Muhammed
Scientology is not a peaceful organization. It has a policy called "fair game"

FUCK

Marty said that too, about the lawyers. Well, this is going to be nice. Headleys and Decrescenzo leading the charge; when they win the next wave will step up. Reparations must be paid. There is no fucking way the cult should get off scot free after using these people for so many years. And they have a lot of people to compensate, don't they.

The class action suit, another matter. These are the publics who donated to Superpower, only to see their money go to buy Oak Cove. And the people who were coerced into paying into the IAS as a covert tax on their "donations" for services.

Hope you like wearing cotton and denim, Davy. I ain't talkin' 400 thread Egyptian cotton, either. Just the usual chambray worn by work details.

I love this!

Here is Kevin Mackey's confirmation that it's Graham and Barry who are representing them:

I need to jump on the band wagon. I wasted ten dollars on a book Self Analysis. Couldn't get pass page two. So I gave it to my mom. Same thing happened with her. It was sooo retarded, she threw it at me and now has disconnected from me. I was both physically and mentally damaged.
I think I should get 2.4 million dollars for my wounds and emotional distress.

FlamingWallOfDeath

This is exciting - all it takes is a general precedent, and many other judiciary officials will follow suit. Step one - win a major lawsuit (class-action if possible).

She blinded me with science.
