Original Cult Awareness
Network, Inc. confidential records turned over to Scientologist
| According to
F.A.C.T.Net Newswire the "original Cult Awareness Network, Inc. files turned over to
Scientology Dr. Edward Lottick, president of the original Cult Awareness Network, Inc.,
reported last week that the files belonging to the organization had been turned over to
Scientology as part of a legal settlement. Specifically, the
records were turned over to Gary Beeny, the Scientologist who paid $20,000 for the $2
million award in the Jason Scott case against the original Cult
Awareness Network. This purchase led to "CAN" being run by
Scientology members currently answer the phones. According to Dr. Lottick, 'Scientologist
Gary Beeny agreed to accept the records as payment in full of the Jason Scott judgment if
the Board of CAN would give up the auction.
This means that Scientology cannot depose and otherwise harass CAN
Board members, former Board members, members at large, CAN donors, and even CAN employees
for payment of debt, because the judgment is settled in full. The Board felt it best to go
for a clean settlement, rather that leave nearly two million dollars in liability hanging
over our collective heads which would have been the case had we gone to auction. The Jason
Scott judgment is settled in full but the records are indeed gone. I wish I could report a
better outcome but the deck has been stacked against CAN since the original Jason Scott
case. We have had a series of poor judicial decisions ever since. Hopefully, it's
over.'"
