Good thing people are fighting back against these LGAT seminar scam-artists and crooks. These sorts of scams are going on all over the place. "breach of contract, consumer fraud and unjust enrichment." 3 women ripped off for thousands each. It sure sounds like consumer fraud to try to sell "nothing", then cancel it, and keep the money. That's fraud. Maybe the FTC will

That is a good way to put it. From seeing how these Gur guys/gals operate, they make sure they stick windfalls away, as they think everyone else in the world is a scammer like them, as thus have an EXTREME fear getting sued. They obsess about that pretty much 24/7. When they get their Oprah Effect money, its gone instantly. (unless of course they are into cocaine, gambling, booze, etc, where the

There you have it, as predicted the scammer James Ray has stashed his cash. Could be the brother and family members are sitting on a chunk of it, as well as all sorts of offshore shell-companies like Werner Erhard used. They called the company James Ray International, "international" as in making and moving money out of the country. Call in the IRS. Even the true believer James

Some people might want to look around and see if they can find anything, a search on the NV site using the name James Ray could turn up some results. Search by Officer Name, James Ray, and James A Ray, and other searches. Business Entity Search Maybe someone could post that on the Salty Droid site, to get many people looking around. There is a long list of revoked companies. A couple of

Its also starting to look like James Ray is in cahoots with his brother and other family members? Maybe some of those folks have various homes and assets in their names? But that will be looked at by the experts. Werner Erhard was the master of that one. When things turned bad for Werner Erhard he "sold" his companies to his family, and fled the USA. They then pay Werner using co

James Ray is trying to claim he is "not wealthy", he is doing it by the book. One thing that is taught right at the beginning of anyone who starts up these big money LGAT seminars, is how to try to hide your assets to protect them from lawsuits. They attempt to teach all sorts of strategies of setting up various trusts, offshore accounts and shell companies, strings of corporations

Just going to be blunt. Yes, people have "heard" Werner Erhard handed everything over. They were told that from the Landmark propagandists, that is their Story, and they are sticking to it. They said that after Werner Erhard fled the USA. And if anyone believes that, maybe they have also heard the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale. Anyone who actually believes that Werner Erhard has

Thanks for the post above Corboy. And what is amazing, as detailed in these very threads, Byron Katie does every single one of those techniques, and literally about 100 more. And the BK folks just refuse to talk about them, as they know knowledge of the technique can block it. Which is why they need to try and keep everything "fuzzy", and try to deflect from it. Byron Katie is on

To dig up that kind of info would require some serious investigative reporters, as Werner Erhard & Co would have dozens of dummy shell companies all over the place making money transfers. There are people who specialize in hiding and moving money, but they are very hard to catch. Also, if someone with some resources could finance a top private detective to be put on Werner Erhard'

I don't see Jack Rosenberg as being involved in the day-to-day ops of his business, Landmark Education. He might be...but I doubt it. More about setting policy and direction, and sticking to his bogus "philosophies" and abusive methods of coercion, etc, etc. Other cult-type leaders were nabbed recently, and what they had were those prepaid anonymous cell phones that drug dealers

All it would take is for one of these experienced and powerful class-action lawyers in the US, and they could possibly take Landmark down, and put them out of business. Does anyone think Landmark might have some Enron type problems? Or some problems about where all the money is going? Is money getting channelled off-shore somehow? What about the "employee owned" bullshit Landmark
