There is a "war chest" where money is reserved for legal suits. Remember, the goal is to HARRASS, not to win. They will do whatever it takes to prolong a case and thereby cause the other person's financial ruin in the process. On occasion, they also have to pay out fines for the court cases they lost.

Co$ also uses member donations to buy a lot of property even though the membership numbers don't justify the purchase (i.e. there's not many people occupying the buildings). There's also the cost of doing any major renovations (if a building is deemed a historical/heritage landmark, you can imagine the cost will be significantly higher).

Funds are also needed to pay dirty private investigators (and any hired thugs) and throw lavish parties/assemblies to impress celebrities and/or the public.

As you would expect, money is also used to maintain David Miscavige's posh lifestyle while the regular Scientologists who slave away at orgs (not to mention the Sea Org) barely survive on $40 a week.

Oh, yeah...and then there's the movie tickets. Heh, heh. image


Practically NONE goes towards any charity work, let alone any charity work done by organizations OUTSIDE of Scientology.
