The Cult’s Money Man – Mr. Hedge

Most of his success comes from a brilliant move about a decade or so ago.

No other way to describe it.

He was comfortably wealthy back then.

Then he made one of the all-time smartest investment moves anyone has ever made in that industry.

He was part of the cult back then, and donated like everyone else. As his investment began to bear fruit, his giving to the cult grew tremendously.

As of a few years ago, he was the largest donor to the cult, by far.

His giving was in its own category.

Around that time, a certain website, known for its very detailed research about the cult, wrote some very unflattering things about our money man and some adoptions.

Our money man was not a big figure to the general public, but he was now beginning to appear prominently whenever anyone searched for a story about the cult.

The cult got involved with the big search engine to help fix that part.

In very recent years, his giving to the cult multiplied once again.

He also made a very large real estate purchase, which has raised questions.

In recent months, rumors have swirled that our Money Man may be in the process of leaving the cult.

He may have even left already.

This coincides with what appears to be a big change in very close personal relationship, but nothing is official yet.

The cult is doing everything they can to make sure he is happy and keeps giving.

They are really sweating this one out.

If this whale stays with the cult, he has the potential to take the entire cult’s financials to a whole new level, on a permanent basis.

Google helps Scientology billionaire Bob Duggan hide a dark family secret
By Tony Ortega | June 13, 2015

Bob_Duggan_illoRecently, we told you that California pharmaceuticals entrepreneur Bob Duggan — a man currently worth $2.3 billion — had, through an agent, complained to Google about a story we wrote about him.

Duggan didn’t complain directly to us, but then he must have known that the facts in the story we wrote are rock solid. We relied on first-hand accounts, court records, and photographic evidence to show that in 2013, at the same time that Duggan and his wife, Trish, were propping up failing Scientology facilities in South Africa with large donations, two of their six adopted children suddenly showed up in that country, and were being cared for by South African Scientology families.

It suggested a bizarre trade deal — Duggan largesse saved Scientology buildings while two of their children were taken off their hands — and yet, despite those bizarre allegations, everything about the story was nailed down tighter than John Travolta’s hairpiece.

We titled it “A perplexing tale about Bob Duggan, the richest Scientologist in the world,” and published it on October 15. It proved to be one of our most popular stories of the year, as well as probably the one that took the most work (including long Skype calls to Johannesburg).

It proved so popular, that it soon became the number one result on a Google search of Bob Duggan’s name…

Duggan was clearly unhappy that the most popular online item in the world associated with his name was our story about his strange transfer of his adopted boys to South Africa. But rather than send us a threat letter he instead went straight to Google.

What he did, through his agent, Matt Archambault, was to complain to Google not about the facts in the story, but about the images that we’d used to illustrate it — only two of which he had any ownership claim over. Specifically, Duggan filed a complaint under the DMCA — a “takedown notice” — for six of the images in the story. The first was a headshot of Duggan that came from his own website. Duggan also complained about a photo of his wife Trish that came from her website; a collage of photos from Scientology’s Impact magazine which featured him and Trish accepting trophies from Scientology leader David Miscavige; a photo from Scientology’s website showing the grand opening of the Pretoria Ideal Org in 2013; a photo of Robin Hogarth from Robin’s own Facebook page; and a photo of Robin, his wife Carol, and their (formerly Bob’s) son, from Carol’s Facebook page. In each case, we had been careful to point out in our story where each image had come from, and that in each case the subjects in the photos had posted the items themselves. We wanted readers to know exactly where we had obtained them. (Another photo in the story, showing Carol Hogarth and the blurred-out boy, was taken by Carol’s sister Shelley Ashurst, who gave us the photo with her permission.) – Source

Here are the wealthy people keeping Scientology alive

And for Scientology’s biggest donor, we really had to do some guesstimating. As you could see from our previous list, we came up with $40 million for Diamond Maximus, and maybe another 2 million for “with Honors”?

Again, we’re doing our best to estimate these numbers based on the progression published in Scientology’s own 2006 brochure. Duggan might have given less, but he also might given much more.

As Bloomberg magazine reported last year, Duggan became a billionaire when a pharmaceutical company he owns hit the jackpot with a new cancer drug showing great promise in trials.

Besides funding the IAS, Duggan also helped Scientology purchase the Freewinds in 1987, and he’s given generously to Miscavige’s Ideal Org program.

But Duggan’s largesse is well known. What surprised us was that some familiar faces weren’t shown among the other whales, big donors who showed up in past years.

Where’s Michael Bayback, for example, who had reached Patron Laureate level ($10 million). And Earthlink founder Sky Dayton, who had previously showed up as Platinum Meritorious ($2.5 million)? Not to mention Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, who famously turned over $10 million in one go several years ago. – Source
